CPU Usage not reporting as configured

I have about 85 tests total, mostly ping tests and CPU usage tests. The CPU tests are set to run every 5 minutes, and connect via IP, as local admin. I set them up yesterday and they were working fine, but today, they constantly report a "Checking" state...I never get a result....
Any ideas ?

Could you please provide more information?
- HostMonitor version?
- Windows version on local system?
- Windows on remote system?
- Service Pack?

Regards

Sorry...
Host Monitor 4.70
Local Computer running HM, W2000, Sp2.
Remote Server that I'm trying to run the test on,
W2000 Server, Sp3.
Note - I got one set of results today, that gave me the details of the CPU usage, then the next time it was set to check, which was 5 minutes later....its stuck saying "Checking" again.
Thanks.

My fault.
I installed HM logged in as local admin, I logged in as my domain account today....what can I do to have HM work the same regardless of login...run as service right ? where do I modify the startup command ?
Thanks.

Yes, you may install it as service.
Please read following sections from the manual:

Stuck in "Checking" status.... it means Windows API does not return any information. No useful counter, nor error codes...
Question is why? Most likely RegConnectRegistry Windows function stuck...
