Hey nekkidtruth,

Looking at chat: [Zcash4win BETA is out! - #13 by CitricAcid](https://forum.zcashcommunity.com/t/zcash4win-beta-is-out/14155/13)

1.) I’ve tried zcash4win.exe -rescan -daemon=0 -showmetrics=1

Nothing with this command, i though it might reset the cache or something, but same “can’t connect to daemon 34\*” delayed crash.

2.) Next I tried creating the empty .conf file zcash.conf. The file was already there, no change.

3.) Everyone keeps talking about the command zcashd.exe, but my install has zcash4win.

Do I have to add the "-rescan -daemon=0 -showmetrics=1  
" to this config in someway?

4.) Try repair on install, sigh re download zcash .msi. Right, restart PC and try to load; varifying prooving key & then same error “Daemon taking to longer than expected to start … 24”

Am I missing something?

This app only seemed to function for about a week.

Thanks for any help guys.

Chaz
