You guys are so fast, you figured it out before I could even do a followup question.
Thank you Microsoft for not trusting us to look at our own files without the secret cryptic code. I live on my computer and did not know the Open Sesame code of %appdata%.
Yes after using the secret Open Sesame code, there it was.
Topic: Error Loading blkindex.dat (Read 7068 times)
For some reason there is no roaming directory either.
And even more strange maybe, the directories that are there under c:\users\chp\ are like documents, pictures, or the usual suspects rather than the cryptic appdat or roaming etc.....

There is. It's hidden
Click on Start and type %AppData% and then enter

Thanks, but that is the screwy part.
There is no appdata under the users name, in this case CHP.
I thought every xp and windows 7 had that folder, but not on this new Windows 7, 64 bit with virually no other software other than OpenOffice, plus I did a complete search several time for the file, directory, etc.
Wierd why it will not recreate it after an uninstall and reboot and then install.

It's in
C:\Users\your_username\AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin
Before you try anything else, back up your wallet.dat.
Then find blkindex.dat and blk0001.dat in that directory and delete them

I have reinstalled and rebooted several times to no avail. blkindex.dat seems not to be on computer under users/appdata or whatever. Running Windows7 64 bit on new computer, hardly any programs. Windows Security essential.
It is not there to delete and not sure where to put it if I create it or if it is creatable text file.
Help please
Error is: error loading blkindex.dat
Anybody else in this perdicament?
