```
"C:\Users\Pompen\AppData\Roaming\MultiBit".
 "C:\Program Files\MultiBit-0.5.18".
Unable to load blockchain "C:\Users\Pompen\AppData\Roaming\MultiBit\multibit.spvchain". The error was "com.google.bitcoin.store.BlockStoreException Corrupted block store: could not find chain head: 0000000000000000139072ad82693ddc93b29fca541778907aced232b031072b".
Opening wallet "C:\Users\Pompen\AppData\Roaming\MultiBit\multibit.wallet"...
... done
Opening wallet "C:\Users\Pompen\AppData\Roaming\MultiBit\Naamloos.wallet"...
... done

```

Then it shows these messages:

> Starting blockchain replay from network...
>
> Replaying blockchain from date "7-May-2015"
>
> Stopping Bitcoin network connection...

And this error:

```
**17:56:34.604 [SwingWorker-pool-2-thread-2] ERROR org.multibit.network.ReplayManager - Cannot download blockchain as there is no PeerGroup**

```
