database disk image is malformed

Any idea what i can try?

Is there a guide how to manually repair the database?

Thank you for advise.

Sadly there is very little that can be done when this happens. This is caused by NHSEO being forcibly closed down when it is saving to the database (due to closing via task manager, turning off machine unexpectedly or power cut etc). You can email the DATABASE.db3 file from your "My Documents\No Hands SEO" folder to the support email address and I will try to fix it but there is rarely any fix other than to delete the DATABASE.db3 file and reinstall I am afraid.

Hi Jim,

the information with the .d3b file was gold

good news i found a online tool wich can repair .db3 files.

Code: Select all

https://www.zotero.org/utils/dbfix/

If the Database is under 100mb users can try this.
Upload takes a long time. After that you can download a zip file.
Unzip it rename it back to DATABASE.db3

The only issue i found that the newline seperater is wrong so the urls are
not under each other but NHS works fine again if i look at the log.

May be this helps other NHS users.

Thanks for posting that I wasn't aware of it and will have to check it out in future.
