So I updated to 0.5.3 2 weeks ago from version 3.21beta~(something around there) Shortly after updating the security bug was found so I updated to 0.6 RC4. It worked for a few days. Now when I try to run bitcoin.exe I get the following errors.

What do I need to do to gain access to my wallet again?

looks like the database got curropted
Best way is to go to %appdata%/bitcoin/
and delete blk*
Then it has to redownload the whole blockchain :/

AND BACKUP YOUR WALLET.DAT

got it working apparently. I was using the old bitcoin.exe short cut which caused the problem. I was able to switch out the corrupted blk with a backup. Thanks
