Try moving the file "osu!.db" outside your osu! folder. Just a note, this will mark all of your beatmaps as unplayed.

If that does not work, here is a list of the illegal Windows file name characters: 
\ / : * ? " < > |

First, make sure none of these characters are in your path to osu!

Open your Songs folder and make sure none of those characters are in any of the individual song folders, including the files inside them. Do the same thing for your Skins folder.

If you have a lot of songs and skins, check your newest files first. Specifically, any you can remember importing the last time you were able to run osu! without issues.
