I FIXED it with Mist.

  1. GO TO C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Roaming\Ethereum\geth

  2. DELETE chaindata folder enter image description here

  3. GO TO C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Mist

Delete content inside Cache folder

  1. In the same folder C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Mist

Open file "network" with SublimeText editor, and type: ropsten instead

SAVE.

  1. Run Mist.exe "Run as Administrator"

Should sync and download some 14millions blocks and Mining should be enabled now

. Please refer to screen print.

The balance is already reduced from my account. Not sure why it has not reached your account
