Ok. Open Windows Explorer and type %appdata% in the bar at the top, press enter then browse to the BlackCoin directory, delete everything in there EXCEPT wallet.dat which is your actual wallet. Keep that, and take a copy of it just in case.
Then open your Blackcoin client the way you're used to. It will sync from scratch, you'll need to wait quite a long time this way (possibly over a couple of days) but ensures you get a completely up to date blockchain record.
If someone reading this knows how to do the bootstrap and can write simple instructions that'd be great.
Once you're up to date, consider using a different version which doesn't need a full blockchain download like PayBlk
https://payblk.blackcoin.io or MultiBlack
https://multiblack.github.io - all you need to do is write down 12 words to recover your wallet whereever you are with those so are much simpler.

I didn't find a "Windows Explorer" so I did a file search of blackcoin and deleted everything that came up except my .dat files
I downloaded the 1.2.2 version again and launched the wallet and it still brought up the same wallet info as before
I noticed in the debug log file is full of orphan blocks
I have about 10,000 coins I'm trying not to see burned here
thanks for any help
