Hello Im also having problems i have tried all different bearshare versions and none open up its says bearshare has to close i have vista, and also i tried that v.6 and that works fine! Any advice for me please?

Is that one of those generic Widows error messages?
If possible, see if you can get more info out of it.

Also, in Vista it helps to right-click BearShare.exe and BearStart.exe
and in Properties set compatibility mode to XP.

It says Microsoft Windows.... Bearshare has stopped working and needs to close

Grab a copy of BearDiag and continue this at the TechNutopia forums.
I think it may be something we can fix once the data is collected.

I have Vista as posted above it does not work

You gave the solution to make it windows xp compatible

But it does not work

the script does not change the time

It works if I change the time manually

Maybe having a new script compatible with vista will be best

Thanks

Good Lucking Out

Set it's properties to run in administrator mode too.

hey aaron. i downloaded this test version of BS, and the utility program. it worked beautifully for me for the past 2 years. now i upgraded computers and have Vista. now when i run the utility program, it doesn't work. there's just a little box that comes up and says, ''This Copy of Bearshare has expired". why doesn't the utility program work with Vista? i can't live without BS, so, can you or someone else provide a fix for this? thanks.

If at all possible upgrade the new computer from Vista to XP.
BearShare will detect Vista as an unknown Windows version and impose
limits designed for windows 98.

Right-click on both programs and set them to work in XP compatible mode
and with administrator permissions. Most people find this works.

You can also try the normal versions 5.1.0.27 and 5.1.0.28 and remove
the adware with the adware's own uninstaller program. The upgrade nags
never stop but neither will the program.

actually, i just changed the date manually, and it worked! beautiful! thanks for the suggestion about running in XP mode. i will try that. thanks!
