Downloads and Saving to CD problems.
 

can someone please help me. I have been downloading for two days. Made 2 cd of my best oldies that i use to listen to as a child. But today after downing, i went to save the same way as i saved the other cds and when i went to copy the downloads today i could not. The reason is because windows xp or someone (maybe a hacker using my shared fileds), changed the way it is saving my downloads.

I need help finding the correct folders to save my downloads in again. Now they are being saved to documents\program setting\audio, shared files, or something like that. When i try to open the file it will not open.

Another thing, when i click on a song to download now it will down load and play. But when i go to burn it on a cd using Roxio cd maker Roxio cannot read the file.

I have a Emachine computer . Runing WindowsXP, and Windows Media Player. Please help me. Thanks.

first...in BearShare (aka BS) got setup and choose downloads...there you will find where BS's temp folder and downloads folder are located...you can of course change these to what you want...pay attention to the fact that both the temp and downloads folder MUST reside on the same physical drive/partition (i.e. both must be for instance C:\)

as far as the concern about a hacker...well, I hope for your own good you have a decent firewall (it is certainly not beyond the ways of the **AA's paid henchmen to hack you..I would love to catch one in the act, and the first thing I would do is to call the FBI)

since you are using XP, perhaps using system restore to put your box into a state it was last week might work...

go directly to the downloads folder and try and play one of the tunes...and try the drag and drop method to add songs to Roxio's burnlist..

thanks for your suggestions and help. But, i don't know a thing about what your are trying to explain to me. Sorry may if you have the time to email me you could give me step by step instructions. thanks I still need help. Now i am going to uninstall Limewire and reinstall it again. Maybe i will come out on top with 2 more cds that i can burn. Thats all i know what to do.

LimeWire eh????


yur in the wrong sub-forum...maybe you'll get more exact help if you post in the LW section of this board...the directions I gave were for BearShare
