Can someone help. My wallet went all whacky. I have the correct updated version. It says its syncing with network but is not gaining any progress processing the block transaction history and there are 8 active connections to the CGA network. A little peach msg window appeared at the top of the wallet client since I launched the wallet client with the new update saying you may need to upgrade or other nodes may need to upgrade. Any suggestions on what I may have done wrong or where I may have screwed up?
Sorry im newb.
Don't be sorry you're new to it, we're all new at some point

You haven't done anything wrong. However, your client is on a fork of the blockchain (for more info on blockchains and forks, see:
https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Block_chain). The fix is pretty simple, all you have to do is delete your copy of your blockchain and let your client re-synchronize with the network. Here's how:
1. Exit the CGA client, and then open the run menu. In Windows 7, click the start menu and then click "Run". In windows 8, go to the desktop and press the Windows key + R to bring it up.
2. Type this into the box that comes up: "%APPDATA%\Cryptographic Anomaly\" and press enter. This should open a window with your data folder for your client. (note: if this doesn't work, try: "%APPDATA%\Roaming\Cryptographic Anomaly\" instead."
3. Make a copy of your wallet.dat in this folder.
If you lose all copies of this file, you will lose all of your CGA coins, so be careful not to delete it! Keep the backup secure, as anyone with a copy of it has access to your balance.4. Next, you should see the "blocks" and "chainstate" folders. Right click and delete these.
5. Open up your CGA wallet again. It should begin to redownload the blockchain. Until it finishes, your balance shown will not be correct. This shouldn't take too long since our blockchain isn't very big, but it could take a while depending on your connection speed.
Good luck, and tell us if you need more help!
