There have been many users saying they couldn't get their Gnotella to work on Windows XP. Shaun came with the solution right away, on forums.gnotella.com (disabling visual themes, etc.).

Now it's our very dear Microsoft who fixed their XP. Go to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/ There's an update for XP that swears will make your Gnotella work properly (they specifically mentioned Gnotella among the programs they said will work well with this update!!!). So far it did .
