Litecoin Help.

Hello, I have decided I will test out this new Litecoin but I am having trouble with the client. It says unable to load BLKINDEX.DAT, it's quite annoying and putting me off Litecoin and just sticking to Bitcoin.

same as bitcoin the block chain has become corrupt for some reason simply go to

C:\Users\Windows 7\AppData\Roaming\Litecoin

create a copy of the wallet.dat file (just incase) and delete blkindex and if its there any blk0001

reload wallet (should still have same address) and boom let it redownload and your done

Having a bit of trouble finding the AppData file.

have you changed hidden files to visible? if not go computer press "alt" then go to tools and down to folder options select the view tab and set show hidden files and folders

1. open up windows explorer
2. in the address bar, type in %appdata%\litecoin
3. hit enter
4. delete the files

Worked, thanks to everyone who helped me out. Another quick question where would I be able to buy some Litecoin, I have done some Face 2 Face trades with Bitcoin but Litecoin is hard to find.
