Hi guys,
I'm having some major problem upgrading my wallet to the latest (v1.5 -> v18). So I downloaded the latest wallet and launched it, and it gave me an error message: blkindex.dat cannot be loaded.
So then I went into '%appdata' and delete the file blkindex.dat. Now the wallet loads fine, but the old balance disappears! I cannot see the old transaction details, and the balance is zero! (But the receiving addy is correct tho).
What happened to my wallet?

I'm getting really nervous now. Please help me, guys. Thanks in advance!
Hey Wiz,
When you upgrade from any wallet before 1.7, you will need to go into your roaming MintCoin folder and delete everything
except your wallet.dat file before you download the new wallet so that you can download the blockchain from the beginning. If you already did that or that doesn't work, try using the repairwallet or salvagewallet functions in the debug window. Don't worry, as long as you have your wallet.dat then your coins are safe on the blockchain just waiting for you to connect to them.
