Thanks for your reply. I use the most recent version (0.95.1)
I fixed the problem actually; I'll explain what I did for anyone googling.
I installed Betcoin Core in 2013 when I wanted to start using Bitcoin. I downloaded the chain, but never used it.
Now, in 2017, for some reason Armory ddidn't work (and still doesn't work) when it tries to run Core in the background, it just hangs on trying to create a database. It does work when I first manually run Core and then Armory. But for some reason Armory was then using the 2013 download, not everything that I had already updated since then. I noticed this as Armory said it has access to about 350K blocks, while Core had 450K.
Again, for some reason this fixed itself after I left the path for "Bitcoin Home Dir" blank, instead of filled in. When I did this Armory started using the new blockchain download and after about two hours my balance is showing properly.
I still can't run Armory without myself manually running Core (as it hangs) and unticking the automatic option, but it seems if I do it manually everything is now working.

Hi,
Quick question: as a Bitcoin-noob I recently started using Armory, without really knowing too much about what I was doing, as someone insisted in sending me Bitcoins (instead of "regular" payment). I gave them the address, they paid, transaction confirmed on blockchain.info after a few hours.
I then found out before actually being able to use Armory I needed to use Bitcoin Core/to download the blockchain, which I did. Now fast forward two days Bitcoin Core appears to be fully synced, Bitcoin Armory says it is connected, but still no payment in my wallet and my balance still zero. If in Armory I go to "Wallet Properties", and right click the address the payment was send to, and choose "View address on Blockchain.info" it actually points me to the transaction being completed. So why is it not showing up in my Amory Balance or transaction history? Is there another step I'm somehow missing?
Any help would be very much appreciated!
