yes but I am curious : if i will reinstall vista should bershare 6 will work again or is a problem that can't be fixed by me? i'm just used with it :D

Reinstalling Vista definitely sounds like overkill and unnecessary, since it is still working.

You could try scrubbing out all traces of BearMesh 6 and reinstalling it, though I would advise
against letting that RIAA-friendly company spy on your downloading habits anymore. You can
certainly get more mileage out of Myspace and IRC than the profile and chat in that software. :p

Either option will probably render most of the DRMed music you downloaded with BearMesh unplayable.

Aaron I could be wrong, but doesn't the old versions have a chat component somewhere....

it does, but its not active as the host of the chat is no longer valid

There's a point-to-point chat too (which is still working) but the odds of catching somebody at
their keyboard is pretty small.

If one compares the enormous benefits of using the 5.x.x series of BearShare :aweof: to the 'loss' of chat, I think that the chat 'chit' is a REALLY small loss !!!!!!!

Use something else for chat.

hello , thanks for this topic

I get error message Bear share stop working each time I run it

:welcomegnut:

Which version of BearShare?
Which operating system are you using, Vista?
Right-click the program & choose Run as Administrator. In Properties depending on which OS you are using.

An alternative is to uninstall it, then reinstall. Right-click installer & choose Run as Administrator and set compatibility mode of all the programs to Windows XP, SP2.

BearShare on my Windows 7 opens fine. File_Girl did create a separate 5.1 beta installer for Windows 7, but I am not sure if that is the one I have.
