Nevermind. I found what I needed on another forum.
For other newbies who have this same problem, go to c:\documents and settings\your username\bitcoin
Then delete everything in this folder EXCEPT wallet.dat. Do not delete wallet.dat unless you want to lose any bitcoins in your wallet. Next, empty the recycle bin and run the bitcoin client again. It should re-download the blockchain and work fine.
Hope others may find this useful!
Topic: Bitcoin-qt crashes in windows (Read 605 times)
More info please. Error logs?
I keep getting the following error after installing the bitcoin wallet.
BITCOIN-QT HAS ENCOUNTERED A PROBLEM AND NEEDS TO CLOSE.
I saw where someone had posted the same problem, then posted again that they had fixed it, but did not post the solution. I have uninstalled the wallet and reinstalled and also re-downloaded the program twice, but keep getting the same error. My computer is running Win XP, but I am building a linux box for a miner.
Anybody have some suggestions?
Thanks
