Licking my boob since 1970
Quick answer:

SHUT DOWN Bitcoin completely, including out of the tray (assuming you're able to start it in the first place)

SAVE wallet.dat (make an extra backup to a USB flash drive while you're at it - this is your coins)

DELETE all of the other files in the folder, leaving only wallet.dat behind

Restart Bitcoin

+1  This saved me as well.  Smiley

Let it download the entire block chain and everything will come back as confirmed. Might take an hour or two, just let it run and be patient!

Check the file permissions then, maybe it cannot read/write?

Check S.M.A.R.T status of your drive with HWINFO or Speccy, it may be failing.

Back up your data.

Downloading the blockchain takes about half a GB.  Check your hard drive space and delete crud you don't need.


Always try to keep your hard drive under 80% full, otherwise heavy thrashing and data loss can occur.

If your drive really is running out of space I am surprised the computer is still booting.

when i click on OK i get:

EXCEPTION: 11DBException

This application had requested Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.
