I was also getting the "Couldn't connect to node? See the logs for more:" error. When I ran Geth, it was stuck on "Starting P2P networking" and could not connect.

What worked for me was installing Geth, copying the Geth shortcut, and adding --nat=none.

"C:\Program Files\Geth\geth.exe" --fast --nat=none

Afterwards, open the Geth shortcut and make sure that it connects and stays running before opening Mist.

Download Geth here: https://geth.ethereum.org/downloads/

Guys i got same problem, but when i run it with --fast command it says "Fatal: Error starting protocol stack:missing block number for head header hash." any ideas?

e: btw I'm using latest geth and mist/ethgo wallet

e2: I solved it only by resyncing database, geth removedbwanted to avoid this but there is no other way...just to let know anyone else

[prameshbajra]

For me inside C:\Users\<Your username>\AppData\Roaming\Ethereum Wallet\binaries\Geth\unpacked there was a geth.exe. I runned it as a administrator then everything worked fine

you can solve it by uninstalling it from your computer and download the 64 bit zip file for your windows if you are running a 64 bit machine and extract, run the ethereum wallet application it should work fine, it worked for me.

Running desktop icon as administrator worked for me
I tried to run geth from c:/program files/user//app data/ethereum wallet/binaries/geth/geth.exe , but it didn't work for me.

[boralprophecy]

1) Install geth from : https://geth.ethereum.org/downloads/

2) Run Geth

3) Run mist

If you run Mist before running Geth, error occurs. If still error occurs, try running Geth as admin.
