Plan G on home network

[GridNorth]

First things first, this is a marvelous bit of software.

I'm new to flight simming and by definition Plan-G but I love how easy it is to use.  After running it for some time successfully on the same machine as FSX I decided to try it on a spare laptop that I had stashed away which is running XP.  I was careful to download Version 3 and I managed to connect to the FSX folder data on the host.  All seemed to be working.  The "build FSX database" function scans  the correct folders  and shows progress through the scenery folders/files but then the feature seems to stay on"Preparing database for new data".  The progress bar indicates that processing is happening but even after several hours the progress bar still streams across and the egg timer icon continues to be displayed.

I hope someone can help.

It's normally easier to copy the database files across from the FS machine onto the laptop, rather than try to build them again over the network. They're in My Documents\Plan-G Files\Data

Thank you, I'll give that a try.

I've copied the files as suggested but I'm not sure what I should be doing now as the info from FSX is still not being displayed on the map and clicking the build database option doesn't see to want to allow me to look in the Plan G data file folder.

Can you attach the log file? I'll take a look and see what's happening.

Log file attached as requested.
