sorry for not answering the pm is that they hacked me the original account alexvillas and now this is new and I have to wait 1 hour to send another pm

Yes, I downloaded them at https://www.catcoins.org/ the other v0.8.6.1-g88e2a2e-beta from bitcointalk. the 9.3 is synchronized but remains unconfirmed

No worries about the PM Alex.

We cannot use the earlier wallets as the database has changed at least once, and we've had at least two major upgrades that caused forks since V0.8xxx

Ok...let's start fresh.   The wallet binary doesn't install, so you don't have to do anything there.  Let's erase the blockchain and let it rebuild and see what happens.

First, an overview:
- stop the wallet (and remove any earlier catcoin wallets - you'll stay with 9.3.0)
- delete everything except the wallet.dat
- start the wallet and let it reload

Details...

Press the windows button in the lower left, and enter %appdata% in the search box (this opens the hidden appdata folder)
Navigate to AppData > Roaming > Catcoin
Inside, you'll see two folders called 'blocks' and 'chainstate'.  You'll also see a number of files including one called 'wallet.dat'
Delete everything there - but do not delete wallet.dat - that's where your coins are stored

Once the folder is cleared of everything except wallet.dat, exit the file explorer and start the 9.3.0 wallet.  The wallet will connect to the seed nodes and quickly download the entire blockchain.
