I had been using Bearshare now for a few years and have been using bearstart. Today---nothing worked. I finally took everything off my computer and was finally able to reload 5.1.1b25 along with bearstart. However when I click on Bearstart, the utility window comes up, but when I say ok, it does not reset my time back to July 2005, hence I get the expired message. I have no idea what to do to solve this issue, can I please get some help?? thank you

Have you tried the BSLoader, not File_Girl's version but the versions listed beneath in this post?

There's an updated BSLoader version, alternative delays before time returns back.

If you are using Vista or higher, set the shortcut to Run as Administrator.

Sorry I did not see your post earlier.

As usual, it was operator headspace error. I went back and checked settings, as soon as I set it to run under XP-2, within five minutes it was working perfectly and still is this morning. Thank you though, appreciate the response.
