the wallet still says:

Warning: Displayed Transactions are eventually not correct. You or other Knots may have to actualize (the client)

any hints for that?

i'm actually loading the blockchain files, them are 2 right?
when finished i'm not sure in which directory it belongs...


If you download the blockchain file from some source, I mean not through bitcoin client, then you must add commandline option "-rescan" when starting bitcoin.

prompt$  bitcoin-qt -rescan

This way the client to read again each block to see if there are transactions with your addresses. If the wallet.dat already "knows" about all it's transactions, then you don't need -rescan, but if not sure, try it. It takes a few minutes.

is that for windows or linux? i'm using win7

Did you make a backup of your wallet.dat file? . . .If not, make a backup now . . . and copy it to a safe place
+1

This is the most important step.  As long as you have the original wallet.dat that has the private keys associated with the bitcoin addresses you are using, you'll be ok.  If you lose this file and don't have your private keys written down or stored anywhere else, then you can kiss your coins good-bye.  Be VERY careful and don't mess with anything unless/until you are sure that you have a good copy of the correct wallet.dat stored in a safe place.


ok, did that now...



don't mess with anything unless/until you are sure that you have a good copy of the correct wallet.dat stored in a safe place.

Very good advice.


3. meanwhile i realized an available update --> installed it

Version 0.7? That's the most recent release.

If it is "stuck" it could be because it isn't connecting to peers.  Does the client show connections (status tray in bottom right)

The debug.log will show more of what the problem might be.

yes it's this version, hope it didn't change my wallet.dat..... and YES it has 8 activ connections to the coin network. ..

Yes, the wallet does seem broken.  I had this same exact problem.  Every time I installed and ran it, it got to a certain point in the block chain and then got stuck.

To get it to work, I had to download the blockchain manually from here: http://eu1.bitcoincharts.com/blockchain/


ok, gonna give it a try... where to save that file than??

thanks for your helps!!
