I uninstalled everything. And now I went to all doucments and settings, all users. and now I see the following folders:

Appication Data
Desktop
Favorites
Shared Documents
Start Menu
Templates
NTUSER ( Video I think )
NTUSER.dat ( notepad thing )

I dont know what you want me to rename.

Naturally they won't let you download anything until they can get your identity and
then stamp it into the files with a watermark. If you don't have a credit card then
forget them and get the version of BearShare that doesn't mess with DRM.

Did you skip the part about revealing hidden files and folders?

Hi, I'm new to this thread. I had the same problem as sheagy. I can see all hidden files and folders but when I go into all users (or even each individual user) I cannot find the drm folder. I have been stuck on "finalizing" after everytime I try to download it. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the program multiple times and have even added a drmbackup folder, all to no avail.

Can someone help me please?

Try the version of BearShare that doesn't mess with DRM.

I tried that and when i got on the program there was nothing. I spent like two hours on it and search for stuff but nothing came up. plus it messed with my clock.
Maybe I did it wrong but i don't think so.
And in response to my previous post:
If you have a free account on BearShare, and download anything with Yellow stars, then you are downloading things only paying members can get. you can only download the green star items. The yellow star ones "download" but stop at finalizing cause your account cant finalize the transaction as it is now (a free one).
This may have already been said but that was what the problem was for me.

Ah, I see you're a victim of Comcast's illegal censorship. They promised
the U.S. government that they would stop doing that, sometime next year.

Until then, you'll find that Azureus (now known as Vuze) and
µTorrent will still work as long as you turn the encryption on.
