Any Help where nice, Yesterday the Wallet start without problems,
the only changes was Yesterday a update of NVidea driver.
I try with installing the Old driver but it´s not helping

Thanks
 
Did you try turning it off and turning it back on again? ;) I'm guessing you rebooted when you changed Nvidia drivers so it's unlikely to be the client hanging on exit, I can't see how the Nvidia driver could make a difference though, maybe it's upset something with Qt? I'm not familiar with windows but the first step is back up your wallet, then back it up again somewhere else to be doubly safe. After that I'd try re-installing the client after clearing out all configurations and remaining files but I'd suggest waiting for someone more familiar with windows to post, hopefully there's a simple solution.
 
Okay, if you are still having problems try the following :

Make backups of both your wallet.dat and the folder where your autobackups are kept and save them in a seperate location. Make those backups when the wallet is not running !

Now you have a couple of options :

You can try starting the wallet with commandline option "re-index" by adding -reindex in the shortcut, specifically in the target area of the shortcut (for example --> C:\Dash\dash-qt.exe -reindex)
You can try starting the wallet with commandline option "re-scan" by adding -rescan in the shortcut, specifically in the target area of the shortcut (for example --> C:\Dash\dash-qt.exe -rescan)

If both options do not fix your problem, you can do something a little bit more complicated and really requires you to make copies of your wallet.dat and your backup folder !!

Download the Dash blockchain for Mainnet from here : https://github.com/UdjinM6/dash-bootstrap and make sure to read the instructions on how to use the bootstrap
Delete everything in your Dash directory folder except your wallet.dat (if your wallet acts as a masternode wallet then do not delete the dash.conf & masternode.conf !!)
Place the bootstrap in your Dash Directory folder and let it fully sync

If this still does not solve your problem, try doing above with older backups from your backup folder, just rename one of those older backups to wallet.dat
and place it in the Dash folder, run the Dash wallet then with commandline option -reindex (as described above) and see if that fixes your problem.

This is most likely an indication that your blockchain got damaged, so i think your best solution in this case is using the bootstrap method i described above to restore your blockchain.
