Aaron,

Thanks for your replys...

Actually we tried to instal 5.2 first (based on reading about the spyware etc. in 6.1), but kept getting a windows popup "BearShare has encountered a problem and needs to close".

After reading your last reply we tried to install 5.2 along with 6.1 & still encounter the error.

Are you suggesting that we remove both & install 5.1 ???
Is that the version you suggested to Sticky?
