I downloaded the newest wallet and erased everything in the app / roaming folder except for the wallet.dat
The wallet began to sync almost immediately and fully synced pretty quick.
I see a bunch of my mined coins are unconfirmed and showing 'conflicted' in transaction history. Yet another bunch of mined coins are just fine. Same address and same pool.
And...I'm lost from here. Thanks in advance.
If you run the wallet with -salvagewallet all those conflicted will be removed.

backup your wallet prior
pcmerc~
make sure you use command prompt to do it, and that you also exit the wallet first before you do this. As pcmerc said, make sure you back up your wallet.dat first too. Just copy it to your desktop in case something bad happens.
navigate to the folder where your romancoin-qt.exe is for example:
C:\users\coins\romancoin
once there do the "romancoin-qt.exe -salvagewallet" ( without the " of course )
Not saying your dumb, but its good info anyways for there might be someone who does not know how to do this.
