PC Monitor Manager won't open

[markosb]

I am running Windows 7 x64, I recently used my iPad to remove two accounts from monitoring. I am trying to open the desktop monitoring program to make some changes to one computer and it fails to open.

I have rebooted, removed, reinstalled and rebooted again to no avail. The service is running but the monitoring program won't open. The dashboard program opens fine though.

Hello,

What is exactly happening when you start the app. It opens and closes by itself? Does it make an error message?

Try uninstalling all you .net frameworks and reinstall .net 4.0 . Please check if windows installed some updates recently.

Strange - on my other pc (also Win7x64), it was the dashboard that wouldn't start (the monitor started ok)

So I uninstalled both monitor & dashboard, deleted the \pc monitor folder, hacked the registry and deleted all MMSOFT & PC Monitor keys, ran a (Norton360) registry cleanup, then re-downloaded & reinstalled both monitor & dashboard

I then had to delete the 2 "old" pcs from my account, but it's all working ok now

ps. also noticed that although the download links say version 2.7, after installing, it's actually 2.7.1
