David, What version of Nessus Client / Server are you running? Would you please send screenshots of the output you are seeing? Also, are you using a credentialed or non-credentialed scan? What results are you expecting to see? Since you don't mention errors, I assume the scans are completing successfully. Running the server and client on the same system should not be an issue in most cases and I have done exactly what you are doing now in the past with no issues at all.
