If you have Java installed, the simplest way to fix this is to use the Jarfix program. This should allow MinimWatch to start and you can then try right-clicking the minim icon in the system tray.

Blimey!!! - installed the java runtime then jarfix.exe, now I do get the tray icon but "grey" with available buttons "options" etc. Tried to deactivate firewall but still the desktop icon is grey...

This might be a firewall issue or a subnet issue. If you select Options > Show log, what is the active subnet? Is this value consistent with the IP address of the MinimServer machine?

[drPo]

Log shows repeated (evidently unsuccessful) attempts to retrieve monitor subscription from 192.168.1.9791 (which is the right IP address)

at some point i did see an active subnet 192.168.1.0 which seems right.

i tried this with endpoint security firewall disabled - still no luck.

See this thread for a report of a similar problem. Is your network connection set to 'private' or 'public'? If it is 'public', it should be 'private'.

Hi Simon, checked the other thread, i am already on "private" profile. This morning it seems it's working, the log shows 42 attempts to access <NAS IP>:9791 with "no active subnet" as a "conclusion" then I see a message about subnet 192.168.1.0 and voilla, MinimWatch works! Lets enjoy it whilst it lasts, i now know how to make changes with the scripting option so there is an alternative. Thanks a lot for your support!

"No active subnet" means that your PC network adapter doesn't have a network connection. I'm glad it's working for you at the moment.
