Yes, I did mean Windows 7. Thanks. Do you recommend -rescan? or -reindex?

I had this crappy issue but I never used it to get anything fixed , I just wait shitload of time and it finally gets sync or reindexed alone.
But I don't get it ... Is it Sync or reindexing with disk ? If it's Synchronizing with network then there is nothing you could do I guess because it's downloading the Blockchain right now .
and check here , you most likely need to run both commands : http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/22199/what-exactly-did-bitcoin-qt-rescan-reindex-do (check both question and answers )

-rescan Rescan the block chain for missing wallet transactions on startup

Thats what happens if you replace the wallet.dat, takes a few minutes on my i5.

-reindex Rebuild block chain index from current blk000??.dat files on startup

This is what you do if you have problems with your database. The explanation by Pieter Wuille is very good IMHO.

Assuming you mean WINDOWS 7 you:
1) Create a shortcut for bitcoin-qt on your desktop.
2) Right-click the shortcut and select properties.
3) In the field labeled Target type -rescan on the end.

P.S. default is "C:\Program Files (x86)\Bitcoin\bitcoin-qt.exe" so the target field would end up looking like
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Bitcoin\bitcoin-qt.exe" -rescan.

I am having sync issues. I am running the newest btc core client, v0.11.0 and I have been stuck on block 367988 for days now. I have tried restarting and such. Somone suggested to restart the client and reindex, but I don't know how to do that. Can any offer some advice on this? Thanks!
