Is the app showing in the system tray? If not, on the map view, click the ? that's in the gray circle and then walk through the tutorial and there is a panel that will check to see if the app is running.

It wasn't initially, as soon as I started it from the Start menu it asked me if I wanted to start the system tray component, so I said yes, I then got the UAC prompt pop up as apparently it needs admin. Granted that and system tray icon appeared. Clicked refresh but still nothing.

Is your Windows install set to English or another language?

Confirmed that the issue related to Windows language set to something other than english bug is resolved - if anyone hits the "unknown" in connections panel, I have a build that I can give you that resolves that display bug.

Resolved the issue (Reply#19). Started running. Flushed old data with no issue now.  Will let it run and see if anything else is going to pop up.

And if the system try is now running, closing the UI and opening it again (using the system tray icon if you like), do you see it then?  If not, can you post a screenshot of what you are seeing?
