History database damaged


Answer

Question: For a few days now I have kept getting the problem of a message box appearing to state that CB cannot access a history database.

I can of course confirm this with OK, but the message then promptly reappears. At this point the only way to stop ChessBase is now via Task manager. If ChessBase is then restarted and, e.g., I wish to input a new game with Ctrl + N, the same thing starts all over again.

Answer: The program applies a protocol to the user’s chess activities. All games which are saved and loaded are clearly stored according to year, month and day. This protocol can be found in the left-hand window pane under “Game History”.

The error message tells us that the database is damaged. The simplest way to solve the problem is to delete the database that is to be found in the pathway described in the error message.

Alternatively you can simply deactivate the “Game History” in the options dialog under “Misc”.
