About half the times that I load the game I get this at the startup. This takes about 10 minutes to repair the data, and its getting really annoying.
Infact I am writing this thread while waiting for the game to fix itself.
This started several weeks ago.

Anyone know how I can fix this?

correct.

if the repair is going to work you should only need it once.

doing it over repeatedly shows that it isnt being repaired correctly

the best results are reinstalling using the client from the GW site.

it can also indicate a hardware problem, I had the issue and eventually found out it was a bad stick of ram.
