Looking for a problem
 

Hi everyone...my name is Buck...Buck Mckenzie......and I have an Internet problem.

Just joking. I woul like to know if anybody has had a problem with their pc's freezing when using Bearshare. I have had Bearshare only for a while and I think it is causing the problem. It might be AudioGalaxy as well but who knows....?

I would appreciate if somebody could give me some sollutions or shed some light on it.

Thanks,
Buck

Best place to try is http://www.bearshare.net/forum/


Try to be a bit more specific 'bout your problems,also mention operating system,cpu,ram,shoe size,living with parents,dogs name,etc...

Ok....My pc has got Windows 95, 900 Mhz processor chip, 40 gig HDD and 256 MB DIM RAM.
My problem is that my pc freeze's when I use the Internet. I am suspecting Bearshare might cause the problem. I have uninstalled it in the meantime and it looks like the problem have stopped, but I would like to use Bearshare again.

Cheers,
Buck

Perhaps you need a Win sock update:

Only an idea!

Sorry Morgwen,

I've actually got Windows 98. Have been looking on the Windows website for a win sock update but can't seem to find it. Do you know where I can look which version I've got and where I can get the latest one?

Thanks for your unselfish help.

Go there and download the winsock2 file from Microsoft.
But most likly you dont need the new winsock.
Try lowering your max host count a little.

This update is only needed for wi***!

I think early 98s might need it to. but im not totaly sure about that.

After reading your post again... audiogalaxy requires the installation of Gator (this software is spyware!) - bearshare also contains spyware but here is the installation optional!

Uninstall audiogalaxy (and never re-install it!) and clean your harddisc with ad-aware!

This third party software may also cause this problem!
