the expired beta 5.1.0b25 // the BearStart utility They don't work anymore !!! Help Me

How so? Another expiration message?

Aaron, any idea why it keeps telling me this version has expired? worked great on my old puter(XP). Fired right up with the BearStart utility. Tried it on my Vista puter and it's a no-go. Fire up the utility and it keeps saying "This version no longer works."

Ain't Vista wunnerful ?



Blow it out and run 2000 Pro or XP Pro...

Screw Vista, as the corporate world market has done !

Yeah, yeah !
So, some out there will declaim that this is another 'typical non-helpful post' from me re: Vista...
I could not care less... Those ignorant enough to not understand the enormous negative aspects of Vista are folks with more problems than I and most others could possibly help !

I could easily give you a list of, at minimum, 60 other BASIC Windows applications that will not 'run' in Vista...

Fergit it !

Use an OS that doesn't use min. 20% of your CPU capacity just to keep itself at 'idle' !
Might also be nice to not... NOT... have installed the... THE... Biggest bit of spyware yet released to the general public !
Vista...

Any comments ? (Ha Ha Ha Ha !!!)

Well that wasn't much help, urs.

Had no problems with BS Lite on Vista other than it shutting down randomly on me. Can't get the test version up and running though.

Right-click on BearShare and BearStart and set their properties to run as an
administrator and in XP compatibility mode. That'll get you going and might
eliminate the crashes too.

Already did that. No worky for the BS Test version. Now bearshare has taken over my browser when i'm logged on as the admin. Won't even allow me to navigate to this site from there. What up with that?? Had to log on as a sub-user to get here. Didn't affect the sub-user accounts, only the admin account. Ran Spybot search and destroy which came up with 14 hits. Fixed the hits but is must not have completely cleaned it. GRRRRRRRRRR!!!

welp....that's up to you...I am of the type that prefers results over social scenes ...and I'm really against using a program that for all intensive purposes is bugged...hence, I use the expired beta

.\GLibraryWatchDb.cpp (#176) Fatal Error: Unable to load library database.
Reason: Generic Failure
BearShare will automatically attempt to create a new database when it is restarted. Your old database files have been saved for possible diagnosis. Contact technical support for more information.
We apologize for the inconvenience.


what should i do ?

Edit:
never mind i completely deleted it and reinstalled and it is working now

Next time just go to the /db/ folder of BearShare and replace the Library files with the backups.
That usually works the first time and you don't lose your settings.
