Ok, so first I renamed my .mnemosyne folder and deleted and excess mnemosyne related material on my computer. next I uninstalled and reinstalled mnemosyne, however after reinstalling I noticed there was no new .mnemosyne folder created in /clayton. When I try to start Mnemosyne up I get the error "Unable to load database. Creating tmp file." I then click ok in this error popup, however mnemosyne does not start. I can then rename my original .mnemosyne folder back to .mnemosyne, however still no backups are created. If you need any more information feel free to ask.
