Hi,
My wallet.bat file runs fine to update the database but all I get is this non stop for 2 days now.

GUI wallet shows - Synchronization 79736/81196 (2 days and 2 hours ago) with 2 peers
Any idea of what the issue is. Simple fixes appreciated.
Ok. I think I have sorted this out now. I vaguely remember 2 days ago restarting my pc and sikka.exe would not close for about half an hour. I stopped the process and I think that corrupted my sikka database.
Checked my wallet backup from 2 weeks ago was there and deleted the user/sikka/db files. That db or database location was shown at the beginning executable file that is started with the start coin.bat file that I was using to sync the sikka blockchain. Note as sikka pointed out the old and new wallets use the same db location so if you are having issues it maybe worth backing up your wallet and synchronizing the blockchain again.
On the new gui wallet install I extracted.the zip file downloaded from earlier in this thread and used the open wallet button to direct the wallet to my backup and voila loading. Put in my password and gui wallet started synchronizing lovely.
Whew.
