It seems blockchain is corrupted...
1) backup your wallet to a safe location(the most important part  :) )
the wallet (wallet.dat) can usually be found:
Code:
C:\Documents and Settings\YourUserName\Application data\Namecoin(Windows XP)
C:\Users\YourUserName\Appdata\Roaming\Namecoin (Windows Vista and 7)

2) delete all files except "wallet.dat" from
Code:
C:\Documents and Settings\YourUserName\Application data\Namecoin(Windows XP)
C:\Users\YourUserName\Appdata\Roaming\Namecoin (Windows Vista and 7)

3) restart namecoin client and wait until synchronization will be completed.

If you cannot see the AppData folder it could be because it's hidden from view.  Check by launching Windows Explorer then click on the View menu on the ribbon, now tick 'Hidden items'. Important: close the Explorer then reopen, refresh does not seem to work here.
