It's just an annoyance that happens occasionally - I've been getting it a fair bit myself lately.
One possible cause is your computer shutting down while gw.dat is being written to - we think - nobody's really sure what causes this.
If it persists, it might be time to delete your gw.dat and make yourself a new one, using the tried-and-trusted (albeit time-consuming) -image method.

It means your GW.dat file is corrupted. Either try running GW again with the -repair switch or delete and reinstall.

Well, i tried to reinstall, but this didn't change that problem, otherwise ill try that "-repair" method or "-image", so thank you very much

The "-repair" method said, insert disc 1., the image one, had to load 77k files :P

-repair only fixes registry entries, apparently. Using it unnecessarily can cause Windows to "think" that GW is no longer installed.
The -image one WILL entail you downloading a huge amount of files - somewhere around 3.5 Gigabytes of data. It's best to do this as an overnight download if your internet connection is not that fast - mine is ~6Mb/s and it can do a full .dat in an hour or so (did it a few days ago.)

-image will take about 6 hours on basic lvl DSL..... good luck with it - it's worth the time and has always worked in my exp.
