[2.0.4] Won't start

[Moofey]

I'm a new WhatPulse user as of yesterday, and I had the client working fine until I restarted my computer to let Windows Update finish updating my PC. After it came back it, WhatPulse didn't start up as it was set to and nothing happens if I try to launch it manually.

Other than the fact that I'm on Windows 8 (I can see the lolwin8gtfo posts coming) I don't know what else could be the issue.

I also fidgeted with compatibility settings. It crashes on startup under WinXP SP3 mode and doesn't start at all in Win7 mode.

Update: Reinstalled WhatPulse, and upon trying to startup it returned "createprocess error 740; The requested operation requires elevation." After that it was just back to not starting as before. As well the event viewer gives me this:

Code:

Faulting application name: whatpulse.exe, version: 2.0.4.0, time stamp: 0x510c3a88

A search on exception code 0xc05 initially makes me believe the problem is not being on an admin account, which is funny because I am.

I'm pretty much beyond trying to help myself now.[/code]

Deleting whatpulse.db fixes not running?
It seems common problem, corrupted .db
