Ok update... Kept the old wallet,put it on my desktop..Downloaded the new bitcoin..set it up,didn't run it..Replaced the old wallet ,and trashed the new wallet...Started up the new bitcoin,and synced.Almost @ 100% synced,and real player tries to enter the internet,I deny,and my comp shuts down...Restart logged back in ,unistalled real player...Then I start up bitcoin again,I get a quick view of my wallet.. says 124 bitcoins, 0 confirmed..I should just have half of that by the way,that need confirming..Then I get error loading BLKindex.dat,when I start up bitcoin...WTF?Should I try again?And repeat what I did?I made a quick vid capture of the problem.. heres the link.. http://depositfiles.com/files/88dcsyy09
Ok...Did all that...Now after I install the new bitcoin. I just replace the new wallet with the old wallet right?
no you have to add the parameter -rescan to the program
after you have replaced the new wallet.dat with your wallet.dat
Not if he's downloading the whole blockchain from the beginning or do as I say and doesn't run it before putting the old wallet.dat there.
Also, newer versions of Bitcoin don't need the -rescan to be passed as a parameter as they do it automatically whenever they find a new wallet.dat in the data dir

If you don't run Bitcoin after installing there won't be a wallet.dat on the directory, so you can put the old one in and run it after doing that. That way it will not create a new wallet.dat, it will just recognize that it's already there.
It will only create a new wallet.dat if on the first run it doesn't find one in the data dir.
tl;dr : Right lol

Stop Bitcoin, as in close the program.
Press the windows button and on the search field of the start menu write
and press Enter
On the dir that opens, copy the file called wallet.dat to another location
Delete everything safely if you wish, or in alternative delete everything except the wallet.dat file.
Reinstall Bitcoin
On a side note: I don't think uninstalling Bitcoin will delete any files inside the data dir. Not even sure if the uninstallation procedure asks if the user wishes to delete the data dir.
You'll have to delete them yourself.
Press the windows button and on the search field of the start menu write
Code:
explorer %APPDATA%\Bitcoin

you need to save the wallet.dat file which will have all your private keys for all your bitcoin addresses, then uninstall bitcoin, then reinstall it, add the wallet.dat file back to the original spot, then run bitcoin application with the rescan option then your done good luck, I would research this more cause based on the operating system your using there is different ways of doing things, i just gave you the general idea of what should happen

Can I reinstall bitcoin..And some how,save my wallet,then add it back to the newly installed bitcoin wallet?
ok if you do that then you would still need to download all transactions, the reason for this, is cause it needs to see if that address has any coins or balance or what is the history of the address and the only way to do that is to look thru all transactions. There is really no way of getting around it that isn't secure.

I have bitcoin.qt.exe and bitcoind.exe on my allowed list,so it should'nt be a problem with my anti-virus,firewall..Which should I check on the option settings,on the wallet?
Perhaps it's because there are way too many transactions waiting to be confirmed on the network?
I just checked http://bitcoincharts.com/bitcoin/txlist/, there are 1580 unconfirmed transactions (749099 bytes), which is the highest I've seen.

wow, i'm used to it being 300-400... they might have to start paginating results!
also for some reason, the thread title reminds me of:

Probably your block database is getting corrupted for some reason. Maybe due to an antivirus or a bad disk.
