ERROR - PLEASE HELP ME!

Quote from: theymos on October 21, 2010, 10:00:26 PMhis block count remains “stuck” at 1698. He was generating invalid blocks at difficulty 1.0.  He must have a corrupted entry in his blk0001.dat or blkindex.dat file.  He just needs to delete blk*.dat and let it redownload.

The safety lockdown detected the problem and was displaying “WARNING: Displayed transactions may not be correct!” because it saw a longer chain existed that it was unable to accept.  The safety lockdown cannot stop generation or it would create an attack possibility.

OK, if it really won’t get past block 1698 on redownload, then we’re in stranger territory.

Yes, possibly he has antivirus software or even a router or filewall that is pattern matching a sequence of bytes and censoring it.

It would be instructive to get knightmb’s blk*.dat and see if that gets him past that point.
