Thank you @HPC, but I think I have tried that before, but I ca't 100% recall doing so. Bitcoin Core is catching up at the moment, so I'll try what you suggested as soon as it's done. Edit: I've done everything and Armory seemed to be doing something. It's now showing "Scanning" at the top area where the wallets are shown. I checked last night before I went to bed and it was at 94%, so I decided to let it run overnight. This morning it was back at 0% (see screen below) and it hasn't done anything since. Armory has not stopped working the program works normally. Should I just let it run for another while to come or should I do something else (i.e. restart it)? Thanks again. http://imgur.com/a/B7iUv

So the block count in Armory is increasing as new blocks are mined?
It's just the scanning thing at the top?

@HPC: Correct, block count is now increasing. Just the scanning thing at the top seems to be stuck. Would a balance rescan help?

No, that doesn't affect the chain length. Post a fresh log.

Armory is stuck at scanning my balance (earlier posted screen, "Scanning 0%").

Turn off auto bitcoind in Files > Settings and restart Armory.

Geeze, its finally there. Thank you so much for your help. Sorry for any inconveniences due to stupidity So, I turned off auto bitcoind, how do I proceed in the future? Just turn on Bitcoin Core before I start Armory? Or turn auto bitcoind back on, let it sync then turn off/restart again? Cheers again for the help! Edit: All good, I turned auto bitcond on again and everything seems to be fine now. Thanks guys, much appreciated!

You'd have to either give it the path your binary folder or disable it or you'll run into more issues.

Okay, done. I disabled it and have Bitcoin Core running manually in the background. The "Connected" status in Armory is now in purple. Is this correct? Edit: So Armory doesn't automatically update the amount of blocks when auto bitcoind turned off. Bitcoin Core is showing on more block than Armory.

Start BitcoinQt with -disablewallet. Then start Armory the usual way. Once you get a new block, check the peer tab on BitcoinQt, do you see an instance of ArmoryDB connected?

Okay, did that. Now Armory is increasing the blocks as it goes. In BitcoinQT there is an instance of Armory, though it doesn't explicitely say ArmoryDB but I guess that's okay? The amount of blocks in Armory is still written in purple but the blocks are increasing.
Thanks.

Well then your issue is 2 fold: Your node tends to kick you out, and you don't have the RPC enabled. Find your bitoin.conf file (create it if it's missing) in the Bitcoin datadir, and add these 2 lines in there: addnode=127.0.0.1 server=1
