It could be that your database is corrupted or damaged and you need to try loading the backup database.
1) Ensure rekordbox is closed and find your database in the following location:
XP: C:\Documents and Settings\yourusername\Application Data\Pioneer\rekordbox
Vista: C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming\Pioneer\rekordbox
Win 7: C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming\Pioneer\rekordbox
OSX: /Users/yourusername/Library/Pioneer/rekordbox
2) Rename datafile.edb to datafile.edb.old
3) Rename datafile.backup.edb to datafile.edb (removing .backup)
4) Restart rekordbox and see if it opens. If it does, the main database was corrupted and the backup was working okay.
If it does not open, go back and rename ALL of the datafile files in that folder to .old and restart Rekordbox once more. If it does load, both the original and backup database were corrupted and you will have to re-import your songs once more.

Provide as much detail of the issue here:
When I click on rekordbox logo it just "jumps" one time, and nothing happens. I had a few crashes a few days ago, trying to add my music library and scan it. Was going to give it another try today but it didn't start. So uninstalled and checked if I had the latest version (which I hadden't)
But now with the latest version still nothing, so was wondering if you guys had any ideas!
