Title: bitcoin won't load Post by: spafon on October 04, 2010, 09:37:07 PM everytime I try to start bitcoin 3.13 I get an error message "Error loading blkindex.dat" I am running XP
How do I fix this? It was running fine then I rebooted the computer and now I keep getting this error. I tried to uninstall the program and reinstall it but same message. Evidentally bitcoin puts a config file on your computer that doesn't get removed when the program is uninstalled Title: Re: bitcoin won't load Post by: LZ on October 05, 2010, 10:12:07 AM Try to remove all files except wallet.dat from %APPDATA%\Bitcoin directory.
