just installed v1.5 and for some inexplicable reason the application shuts down at will. I can be downloading or in a forum and it just shuts down. I have xp, adaware (turned off) and mcafee (turned off). any ideas out there before i switch to another p2p application. thanks in advance.

hmmmm.... i haven't the foggiest idea nor can i reproduce it. it stays open hours for me.


anyone else have this problem?

I've also been having this problem. Xolox 1.5 will just "go away", no error messages, or any warning that there might be a problem. I was getting a crash error with the 1.5 betas that would send debug info and allow me to restart, but that has been replaced by THIS annoying problem.

System information:
CPU: AMD Athlon 1.2GHz with 266MHz bus(Thunderbird core)

Memory: 1 gig(1 512-meg modules)

Motherboard: Asus A7N8X Deluxe 1001.C BIOS

Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 1 installed.

I have some problems with IE since I installed SP1, but it won't let me re-install. It's possible that these problems are affecting Xolox. Short of re-installing the OS though, I don't see any way to FORCE IE to re-install. Problems such as windowsupdate not downloading anything, and when in IE not being able to click on anything that opens another browser window are examples of the problems I am seeing. I don't really care since I PREFER Netscape 7.02, but it may be causing problems under Xolox 1.5.

My issues around 1.5 shutting down seem to be independent of IE or anything else. I am current on all windows apps and have no issues with any portion of my os or other apps. this seems to be a 1.5 issue

I just came up with a possible reason it RANDOMLY seems to shut down. Could it be one of the advertisements is causing the random shut-down? That would explain why it happens at a "random" time, because the advertisements update to show a random advertisement(I think).

I have also had the problem of Xolox 1.5 shutting down. I'm using XP Home w/sp1 installed. Something new that I have also noticed is creepy little ?pop-ups? / ?searches? namely:
Yashar-Oboz
I-MediaPopAD

Could one or both of them be the problem? ( hey, if they aren't the problem, can anyone tell me how to block these unwanted guests? )

I'm now having the same problem with the latest version build 733. Prior builds simply locked up requiring a CTL-ALT-DEL, but this new build just "disappears", no taskbar presence, nothing.

Same for me...build 733 seems to be the issue. lets hope 734 is better.
