So I updated to 0.5.3 2 weeks ago from version 3.21beta~(something around there) Shortly after updating the security bug was found so I updated to 0.6 RC4. It worked for a few days. Now when I try to run bitcoin.exe I get the following errors.

What do I need to do to gain access to my wallet again?

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.

looks like the database got curropted
Best way is to go to %appdata%/bitcoin/
and delete blk*
Then it has to redownload the whole blockchain :/

AND BACKUP YOUR WALLET.DAT

got it working apparently. I was using the old bitcoin.exe short cut which caused the problem. I was able to switch out the corrupted blk with a backup. Thanks
