Blocks are bundles of transactions.
You weren't generating them, you were downloading them (to catch up with everyone else).
You've caught up, and so you should only see a new one approximately every 10 minutes.
This is normal, your bitcoin client seems to be working fine.
Topic: Bitcoin.exe not generating/processing any blocks (Read 1151 times)
What exactly are you trying to do? Are you trying to mine?
Ok so what's a 'separate miner' then?
Is this something additional to bitcoin.exe that's required?

Hey guys,
I am really new to Bitcoin and am having an issue on my Windows 7 x64 machine.
It has just hung saying at the bottom 8 connections and 134405 blocks.
Yesterday it was working fine, then my machine ran some updates and automatically rebooted itself over night and now it doesn't work.
I have added Bitcoin.exe to the exceptions list in Microsoft Security Essentials and allowed it through the Firewall but still the blocks do not go up.
Sorry but I don't really have an understanding of what the blocks actually mean but I guess if the number isn't going up then its not crunching any numbers so to speak.
Hope someone can help.
Thanks

Im not sure, but when the client is downloading blocks, it's not generating them, you need a separate miner for that.
