I'm using the Windows installer from nxt.org. The NRS version says 1.5.15 Outdated!
Do I need to run the update to 1.6.2?

Yes, update to 1.6.2. After update, there will be rescan of database, which is not short. To speed up the update, go to www.peerexplorer.com and download latest snapshot of database (right bottom of the page). Copy database to database folder nxt_db and then run 1.6.2.

OK. Thanks
not really sure what you mean by copy the database to database folder? am i supposed to be copying the entire nxt_db folder and putting it somewhere? or am i supposed to be copying something and putting it in the nxt_db folder?  Undecided first time using this type of wallet, ya i know it's surprising haha but i'm pretty lost on what i'm supposed to be doing to fix it properly.../update it

What OS do you use?
windows 10  Wink

Here is procedure:

1. Check you have java 8 installed, if not, update to 8.
2. download NXT installer from https://bitbucket.org/JeanLucPicard/nxt/downloads/nxt-client-1.6.2.exe
3. install it and choose installation directory of your own.
4. to use latest blockchain database (not to download it from scratch) download it from www.peerexplorer.com (right bottom part of site).
5. unzip it to C:\users\XXXXXXXXX\Appdata\Roaming\NXT\. Database file should be in nxt_db directory.
6. Start "NXT server" from your desktop and wait until it is loaded (blue icon will appear in the status bar, you can check status here)
7. if server loaded, open "Nxt wallet" from your desktop. It will open new tab in your browser with login screen.
8. In login screen you can choose login with your account ID or with your passphrase (click blue man in the login field, it will change login option by account or by passphrase)
9. That's all, your wallet will all NXT features will be opened.

Ask any questions, if this procedure will not work, but it should. Smiley
