Symptoms are problems in the communication between the wallet and the daemon, e.g. the wallet not "seeing" the
daemon and then not knowing whether it is "synchronized" with the network and thus ready to work or not. You can
avoid these problems by starting the daemon yourself, with the help of the <i>Monero Daemon</i> icon in the
Monero program group.</p>

<p>In the <i>Monero GUI Wallet</i> program group there are several icons that may help you to solve problems.
<p>In the <i>Utilities</i> sub-folder there are several more icons that may help you to solve problems.
These are the icons with a <i>x</i> in front and the name <i>(in parenthesis)</i> to make them visually stand
apart from the "normal" ones because you will probably only need them in case of trouble, but not during normal
usage of Monero.</p>
