I installed the 32 bit windows wallet, dowloaded the snapshot and the config file, but I still have a big red cross in the right bottom corner... Does anyone knows how I can get it synced?
Assuming you downloaded Core 1.1.2RC, make sure you updated your %appdata%\BitBean\Beancash.conf file. Once updated, it will download and sync up to the network. Depending on your connection speed, it may take hours or days to sync. Eventually you will see a status bar showing its downloading and syncing.
got it! thanks! the thing I did wrong is that I did not change the conf. file name from Bitbean to Beancash

It is connecting as we speak

is it right that the conf. file only has "add node" lines?
