I have been unsuccessful in attaching a screenshot of the programs involved. So, here are the contents of the command line box.

I have virtually zero comprehension of what this means. And, as I said before, the underscore cursor keeps blinking at the bottom of this and I am unable to input anything.

On my wallet itself, the network status is synchronizing with 1151293 blocks remaining. And my balance is zero.

Also, my lmdb\data.mdb is over a gig of content.

On another thread, someone mentioned that 120GB has been downloaded to their system. Should I expect the same thing? If so, it's not going to fit on my C drive. But I do have a 3TB external drive. How would I go about making the program download to this other drive?

Latest update: It's been five weeks since I sent my Moneroj from Poloniex to my GUI wallet. The "Blocks Remaining" has counted down four times, each time for less than twenty minutes. The other fifty-plus times I have opened my GUI wallet, the "Blocks Remaining" has risen from what it read the last time that I opened it. I have changed the block size from the default 200 to 20 and I have changed the daemon address to node.moneroworld.com, leaving the port at 18081. But I cannot tie any of these changes directly to any occasion of the blocks counting down. And not one fraction of my Moneroj has shown up in my GUI wallet. About half-way through all of this, the daemon started to work from the GUI wallet and I have not had to run monerod.exe manually. What do I need to do to get all the blocks?

Today, I deleted all things Monero from my system and then followed a tutorial from monero.how (https://www.monero.how/tutorial-how-to-create-a-command-line-monero-wallet).

I ended up with two command line windows with some activity going on.

I then followed another tutorial (https://www.monero.how/tutorial-how-to-use-the-monero-gui-wallet), and was able to retrieve my original wallet. This was the second time that my "Blocks remaining" changed.

So now I have three windows open: the daemon (monerod.exe), the command line wallet (monero-wallet-cli), and the Monero Wallet GUI. I have yet to ascertain whether anything is happening or if things are hung up.

The monero-wallet-cli is showing the new command line wallet that I made today. I inputted "refresh" to see if that might change things. It seems not. There appears to not be a way that I can change which wallet that the daemon is working for. For all I know, the daemon may be working on both wallets.

I am going to do some more research online.

At the very least, I have my 25-word mnemonic and a message from Poloniex stating that the transaction was done.

(https://www.monero.how/tutorial-restore-monero-command-line-wallet-from-seed)

So, again I deleted all Monero files from my computer. I ran CCleaner on the registry to clear up anything wrong there. Used CCleaner to truly empty my Recycle Bin.

Then I reinstalled the line command wallet and daemon. The above page link above showed that I needed to input a command that can only be accessed by creating a wallet. I wanted to avoid doing that, but in the end, had no choice.

I finally got to the point where I could put in the command: ./monero-wallet-cli --restore-deterministic-wallet. But it stated that it didn't recognize the command. Does anyone know what error there is in the command that I input? I'm making some progress but it would certainly be nice to have someone knowledgeable respond.

"The old .net GUI is way obsolete, yes. Don't use. You won't be able to sync with it."

So I am just wasting my time trying to get the GUI to work. That just takes me back to attempting to restore my wallet on the command line wallet; with it not recognizing the command: ./monero-wallet-cli --restore-deterministic-wallet.

From (https://www.monero.how/tutorial-restore-monero-command-line-wallet-from-seed), the following is what I am supposed to encounter when I input the command:

[wallet 47CL7F]: ./monero-wallet-cli --restore-deterministic-wallet Creating the logger system Monero 'Wolfram Warptangent' (v0.10.0.0-release) Logging at log level 0 to /Users/dre/Downloads/monero.mac.x64.v0-10-0-0/./monero-wallet-cli.log Specify wallet file name (e.g., MyWallet).

Your wallet has been generated!

The problem here is apparently that this maneuver generates a new wallet with a new password; then it allows you to enter the 25-word seed... which should bring up the existing/to-be-restored wallet. Yet it goes on to state that it generates a new wallet... with a new address. Then to further confuse me, it states that "your wallet has been generated"... which could mean restored.

But all of my ranting is useless as the line command wallet does not recognize the first command.

Maybe I have just shot myself in the foot by erasing all traces of all Monero files from my system, in order to start over. But I do have the 25-word mnemonic; so, at some point in the future, I should be able to retrieve my funds. And right now, that's all I ask.

Today's first entry: Now when I try to run monero-wallet-cli, I get as far as choosing a language when a line in red pops up and the window closes before I can read the line.

So I am stuck with just the daemon operating, which reads:

---

The daemon will start synchronizing with the network. It may take up to several hours.

My latest task was to disable my private internet access program. Now I am getting a lot more activity on the daemon but it does seem to be just repeating the last two paragraphs.
