I had to reinstall the Bitcoin Software.  Not thinking of my wallet I went ahead with the reinstall. 
Now my wallet shows a balance of 0.00 bitcoins.  I realize its probably my fault, no big deal b/c its only like 0.5 or so BC. 
But the Odd thing is, it still shows my transaction history in every detail but with 0 confirmations.
Does that mean they will be confirmed at a later time and the wallet balance will return?
Do I have to do something to retrieve them?
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

you need at least 140k

also doing a -rescan might help

Don't rescan until your client has downloaded the entire blockchain.

First time I tested bitcoin I had to wait 24hrs or something before the transaction and the money showed up.

Thanks for the help.  5 of 6 transactions have been confirmed so it looks like everything is on track.
