To protect yourself from future episodes of sabotage, I
suggest you switch to versions older than 5.2.anything and
never upgrade again. If upgrade dialogs are a bother try
the expired beta 5.1.0b25 and use the BearStart utility to run it.
Aaron, any idea why it keeps telling me this version has expired? worked great on my old puter(XP). Fired right up with the BearStart utility. Tried it on my Vista puter and it's a no-go. Fire up the utility and it keeps saying "This version no longer works."

Ain't Vista wunnerful ?



Blow it out and run 2000 Pro or XP Pro...

Screw Vista, as the corporate world market has done !

Yeah, yeah !
So, some out there will declaim that this is another 'typical non-helpful post' from me re: Vista...
I could not care less... Those ignorant enough to not understand the enormous negative aspects of Vista are folks with more problems than I and most others could possibly help !

I could easily give you a list of, at minimum, 60 other BASIC Windows applications that will not 'run' in Vista...

Fergit it !

Use an OS that doesn't use min. 20% of your CPU capacity just to keep itself at 'idle' !
Might also be nice to not... NOT... have installed the... THE... Biggest bit of spyware yet released to the general public !
Vista...

Any comments ? (Ha Ha Ha Ha !!!)

Well that wasn't much help, urs.

Had no problems with BS Lite on Vista other than it shutting down randomly on me. Can't get the test version up and running though.

Right-click on BearShare and BearStart and set their properties to run as an
administrator and in XP compatibility mode. That'll get you going and might
eliminate the crashes too.

Already did that. No worky for the BS Test version. Now bearshare has taken over my browser when i'm logged on as the admin. Won't even allow me to navigate to this site from there. What up with that?? Had to log on as a sub-user to get here. Didn't affect the sub-user accounts, only the admin account. Ran Spybot search and destroy which came up with 14 hits. Fixed the hits but is must not have completely cleaned it. GRRRRRRRRRR!!!

The problem seems to be in the Bearstart program. Vista is now telling me there is a compatibility problem with it because it is an older program. That really burns me because i really like the BS test version. Ah well, back to BS Lite. I am REALLY starting to hate Vista.

Default bearshare help

I have the free bearshare account.
everything is working fine in terms of downloading songs, but the "people" tab on the left hand side no longer lets me browse people online for chat and stuff.
Any ideas whats going on?
does this feature expire?
Is their servers down or something?
I have emailed bearshare so i will post their answer up here if anyone is having the same problems:
When you click on people, the central area where you would normally see peoples profiles just says "page not found", there is no info about this message on any help site....i turned off all firewalls just in case something was being blocked but im at a loss.
