You didn't read my post properly!Bare minimum was what i was stressing.
Windows>chipset drivers>modem drivers>configure internet conn>latest Gnucleus & then wait for a reasonable time after connecting for someone else who has the right updates.After that little firecracker thing goes green,Bob's u'r uncle!
You don't need all your other progs to connect,even antivirus.Begin a test on a song & after it starts to d'load,stop it & THEN complete PAIN IN THE BUTT REINSTALL!
