Sorry for delay! Computer that I was trying startup the bitmining software shut down on its own and after I was able to get it to boot back up and restart the bitcoin mining software its saying: Error Loading blkindex.dat and when I click on OK it brings up another message for bitcoin-qt.exe "bitcoin-qt.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." with a Close option.
Will look into and hopefully get it resolved.
Appreciate the advice and will likely follow it, especially if I can't sort things out with the bitcoin mining software I installed back in May of last year.
