I sent a transaction of ~16,000 QRK from one wallet to another and it hasn't got any confirmations.
Are you sure you're on the right chain?Try finding it in the block explorer.
Where would I find the block explorer?
Are they lost for good even if I fix whatever the problem is?
Step 1: Backup your wallet.dat
Step 2: Delete blockchain and everything in the folder in appdata/roaming/quark (if this is the correct path, I don't have any clients except BTC).
Step 3: Re-download everything, put your wallet.dat back, sync again. If it's there it's not lost, if it's not there then this might have been a different issue. (this one happened to me).
Thanks, I'll try this out and report back in a few hours.
There doesn't seem to be an explorer for this coin.
EDIT: Yep, that fixed things. Thanks for you help.
Do you have a QRK address?

Both link to a mediafire link which I scanned wit virustotal and it came up blank however on dbl clicking the file it executes and throws out an error
but creates entries in your Appdata/roaming folder and your startup registry. The virus is a well encrypted and Fully Undetected RAT.
he will be able to see what you type and gain access of your computer so please be careful I have reported him.

Ah man people are trying to RAT members here?
How do they sleep at night.
Thank you for the warning.
You're welcome.
Feel free to post suggestions for the list.
Lists of scammers are always welcome. But no one should be making scammer accusations without proper evidence. Suspicions are not enough. A proposition below price isn't ground to trash publicly the reputation of someone.
I wholeheartedly agree, that's why I haven't added the person in question to the list.
This is not necessarily a scammer list though, just a beware/take caution.
use an escrow service to avoid scammers.
what's escrow? 
You send BTC to escrow, other person sends LTC to escrow, escrow sends you LTC and him BTC.
The person might charge a fee.
It's not necessary for the escrow provider to touch both sides of the trade if delivery of one or the other side of the trade can be established beyond doubt.
So for example:
Buyer sends payment to escrow
Escrow tells seller payment is received
Seller sends LTC to buyer
Buyer tells escrow that goods are received
Escrow releases funds to seller
Given that the block chain can track all steps here, the chances of someone scamming and convincing the escrow to release funds to the wrong party are small to nonexistent.
Ah but if there was no block chain you'd have to trust the buyer to tell escrow to release.
I see your point though.
But.... make sure you use a trusted escrow service such as one of the following:
https://blockchain.info/wallet/escrow
http://btcrow.com/
I have used both with much success, others may have differing opinions though... every consumer thinks differently

I'm looking into the blockchain, the problem would be finding someone to be the third party.
Haven't seen btcrow before.

what's escrow?
Escrow meaning you find a very trusted member to be the mediator between you and the person you want to exchange.
You send BTC to escrow, other person sends LTC to escrow, escrow sends you LTC and him BTC.
