okay canaryinthemine, try this...
go into your bitcoin.conf (I'm sure you know how to get there)
and copy this into it...

Restart bitcoin-qt
==================================================
Then if that doesn't work...
-backup your wallet
-delete everything in your appdata\bitcoin folder except your wallet (the same folder that has bitcoin.conf)
-reopen bitcoin-qt
==================================================
then if that doesn't work...
run this from a cmd window
C:\Program Files (x86)\Bitcoin\bitcoin-qt.exe -checkblocks=10 -checklevel=1
==================================================
Then if that doesn't work...
-uninstall bitcoin, delete everything in the appdata\bitcoin folder
-reinstall bitcoin
-run this from a cmd window
C:\Program Files (x86)\Bitcoin\bitcoin-qt.exe -salvagewallet c:\backupwallet.dat
==================================================
And that's all I got for now
had more nodes than that in my file already...
added: "daemon=1 maxconnections=256"
yeah, I've been forced to whack everything everytime this happens and let it redownload...
wallet itself is always fine and I always am able to attach it to a different workstation to work with payments, but this particular bitcoin-qt install just does not behave... it did the same with previous versions too... it is very weird... I'm now suspecting the NOD32... will try to uninstall it and run with windows fw only.
