you have to wait until it syncs
sometimes stopping and starting again can help it speed up but it will surely take a while .
don't worry though.
you can check your wallet by pasting your address in the bar at

Thanks for your reply
Mmm I have tried that and it takes even longer to load up and is going down a lot. I'm up to 5020 blocks and going by the number of hours it's taken and the number of blocks to sync from I have calculated it will take around 56 days to sync. Definitely something not quite right with it.
I don't know if it's a setting on the virtual desktop with Amazon, but all my other wallets work fine.
