I think you will be fine with that transaction. My desktop wallet takes a long time to sync as well.
Go here
http://vergecurrency.de/ and get the latest blockchain. Helps a lot to manually download over having the client update the blockchain.
how did you get a wallet address from the desktop wallet if you cant open?
Humpi and Dogedarkdev thanks for the replies. I will definitely look into vergecurrency.de tonight.
I can open the wallet, it just won't sync. But it at least shows me what my address is.
