I have had the following happen once with NIS 2014 on each of two PCs recently.
After booting there is no icon in the Systray even after several minutes. NIS will start from Start>Programs and the icon appears.
NIS history only shows nis.exe accessing the internet, nothing about firewall etc until I run NIS from Programs.
Applications log shows nis.exe starting-started-stopping-stopped.
Is this a known problem? Am I unprotected until I start NIS from Programs?
Any advice much appreciated.
