But that isn't fair (or right), some rumors say that Vista USES P2P tech NATIVELY in their LAN's, i don't think it should be the local machine then. PS: And a question for ShyGrl, Does Vista run well on those 512 Mb of RAM, or it runs slowly, please tell me, i'm thinking of upgrading |

Vista and McAfee don't go well together at all and HeatherDianeR is actually correct in what she has advised.... Quote:
http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showthread.php?t=66843 But you also need to get an Anti Virus, there are plenty of excellent free one's....http://www.grisoft.com/doc/products-...g/us/tpl/tpl01 I use this one myself.... Also it's a good idea to have good spyware protection... http://www.ewido.net/en/ These are some more links...Take a look, there all good... http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showpo...25&postcount=5

Just a bit of extra info... This AV is also free (I use it) http://www.free-av.com/ And a good little IP blocker for using with p2p apps is PeerGuardian2, it's also free http://phoenixlabs.org/pg2/ |

Honestly DRK-GUY I don't really know. When it comes to computers I'm an idiot but I can say that offline when I want to do something it's not slow but as far as anything I do online at AOL.It's as slow as can be....I can't even run 3 things at once. I've had several people say it's just AOL& it's no good. Some people have said it's b/c I'm on dial up& some have said it has to be something with the computer. Sorry I couldn't help you more. |

okay I've uninstalled my Mcafee and guess what..nothing happened..I got the same exact message that I did before so I think Mick is right about it being AOL. I've got Netscape and I was trying to see if I got online there and tried to use LW and when I got on it kept saying i had problems so I posted on their forum and they said that NS responds neg. with the Mcafee too. I haven't tried to get on there since I just uninstalled my program but I'm gonna try now and I'll let you guys know how it goes. |

YEAH IT WORKED IT WORKED I HAVE LIMEWIRE!!!!!I'M SO HAPPY THE 3 DAYAND NIGHT HEADACHE IS FINALLY OVERAlright I'm gonna put every little detail that I did down and you guys can make of it what you will. Alright I started by downloading the JRE6 that Mick told me about(thanks so much) When that didn't work we determined it must be Aol....so I was going to try my netscape service...when my NS wouldn't come up I posted on their forums and found out that they have a problem with Mcafee too. Since I've seen it recommended several times I figured I'd try to delete my whole Mcafee. I did and when I went online(AOL) and I tried to search the message popped up"there's no connection so your search may not be complete...etc"I just closed it after that and opened my NS browser I had to connect to AOL to get my browser to work when I did that and it was up and running I tried my LW and when I put in my search it displayed the same message this time I just clicked ok and let it ride. No more then a few sec. after that my search popped up and I could download it and now it's fully downloaded.The only down side is that I haven't yet installed an anti-virus program yet and so I don't know how that'll affect my LW. I'll post if I have problems.Hope this can help someone and save them a big headache. I'd like to say thanks to Mick for all your help I couldn't have done it without you. Thanks to you Heather for giving me the idea. And thanks to anyone else that helped.I'll keep posted im case something happens. Bye |

Jessie Im so happy you have things working now. So before you do to much downloading take good advice, & check out the stickies in RED at the top of each main forum page. May all your UPs n downs be good one's, n stay away from exe,rar,zip n wma files, there 99.999 % viruses. Stick to avi,MP3 ,till you get the hang of it. Peace.
