HELP Please! New to XOLOX

I am using wXP and I first downloaded the Beta version of XOLOX from CNET yesterday. Installed fine and searched OK but when downloading it repeatedly works for a minute or two and then shuts down with various error messages.

Uninstalled the CNET version and installed version 369 from the XOLOx site. Still didn't work - same problem.

Today I uninstalled version 369, - including the registry keys and installed version 359. Same thing happened all over again.

Seems like a great program if I could get it to work! It always crashes after downloading audio files for a few minutes.

Is there a version that is known to work with XP, - even an older version?

I have it set to be a server, and have tried it with virus protection on and off so neither of those things is the problem.

Thanks for any help with this:-)) Emails will be sent to me if you reply to this message.

This is what I have done already:
. I installed XoloX, but it freezes at startup or doesn't function
properly?
A. If you had a previous version of XoloX installed make sure you un-install
it first. Additionally it is recommended that you delete the XoloX registry
key IF you are having these problems when upgrading from one version to the
next.
To do this go to Start > Run > Type in 'regedit' at the prompt and hit
return to enter the Windows Registry editor.
Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Software and find the 'XoloX' Key. Right
click on the XoloX key and 'delete' it. Now re-install.

Download build359 here: www.xolox.nl/dl/xolox359.exe

Note, this is an older build then cnet's 369 and may have a closing error/bug
but otherwise the exact same.
