Re: [ANN] Syscoin - Business on the Blockchain - LAUNCHED!
Yep. I posted more detailed instructions for everyone a couple days ago. Thing is, it's getting old and it's killing my Solid State Drive.
I can relate to that! Running a 1gb ssd here also. I can't wait for the price of the ssd's to drop to the point where they are disposable.
I had the same issue on my Windows 7 box.
Click the start button, search for "%appdata%, open the roaming folder, go down to the Syscoin folder and blow everything away EXCEPT the wallet.dat file.
Rerun the 0.1.3 wallet and resync.
This is what I did and all is good now! I am able to sync, send, receive, etc....

The dead icon in the system tray? Nothing happens when I left click, double click, or right click. I have to end process tree via task manager.
If I leave it there (I left it there for going on 5 hours now) it just sits there and appears to be looking pretty but not doing anything else.
It's not an issue of starting and waiting with the big window waiting to sync. The issue is that it pops up and instantly vanishes to the system tray and lays there.
Where it would normally turn from splash screen into the wallet syncing - the splash appears then for maybe 1/10th of a second (a flicker) it is gone.
It's the same thing the previous versions were doing. I know how to force it to load, but it's getting annoying to nuke the files over and over. I have a system that is entirely SSD, no the wear on my NAND is a concern, as well.

What happens if you double-click on the icon? Can you activate it (with Task Manager -> switch to this task)?
Or if you just leave it there for a while, does it then allow you to open it? Sometimes the starting of the wallet takes some time,
depending how much it needs to scan upon starting, before it enables the user interface (I have a wallet from a coin that is
over 1 year old, if I do a rescan of the wallet with 10,000+ transactions, its user interface can freeze for half hour)
