I'm back and it worked - backed up the wallet, deleted the old chain, reinstated wallet - BOOM TROLL staking back online!
Yo nice! Once you rack up a few thousand stakes, you'll need to clean house as your wallet begins to slow down. Send your entire balance in chunks of about 1/5 of your total balance (transactions can get slow & crash the wallet depending on hardware specs so it's best to split up into a few smaller transactions) to another wallet or service such as Trollcoinbot. Or if you're paranoid, set up another wallet on a different PC and use that. Then delete your wallet.dat and restart the wallet.
Please understand that you will loose all the deposit addresses you've created on that wallet.
This is ONLY advice for people who have a substantial amount of Trollcoin & stake their balance 24/7
