Paul,

could you try this updated exe

http://www.mi4.biz/files/xapping3/ping3_beta_1c.zip

as well as fixing that tabbar error you reported, it should give a better
clue as to why the drive check isn't working. Now, when the scan fails it
should now correctly show the red blob and have a tool tip as to why. The
same is also available on the edit screen for that scan too. If nothing
obvious pops up could you send the respective Item=  line from the
settings.txt file.

Thanks

James

The computer name should just be the computer name and have no \\ or \
around
it. Also the program needs to run with an account with enough
privileges to
connect to the remote pc. By default if running as a service the app
will
run  as a local system account, just  go to admin tools, services
and  the properties of the ping service and change it to something like
a
domain admin account.<br>
