Assuming that this is in relation to freenet; I assume you're running it on
windows? I'm not really familiar with how it works on that platform but a couple
of things come to mind :

- Lock files. On *nix a "lock.lck" file gets written to the main freenet
directory on startup, to prevent more than one instance being run at a time. In
the event of a crash though it wouldn't get deleted and would prevent the node
restarting. So see if you have something like that in c:\Program Files\Freenet
and delete it if so.

- Inconsistent datastore versus index. I've never seen a node not cope with this
by fixing the index but perhaps it can happen. If the above doesn't help try
renaming (location of your freenet store)\index to something else, hopefully
this will rebuild the index if that's the problem.

- If neither of those help, look at (freenet directory)\freenet.log and
hopefully it will tell you what the problem is. Unless you have turned logging
off :) One possibility is that freenet is needing a huge amount of RAM at
startup (so you need to increase the JavaMem size in Flaunch.ini), this is a
known issue for some users on *nix ...
