go to program files>bearshare test>db and delete all files that have the word 'library' in them..of course, do this while BS is shut down....

restart BS and it will rehash the files in shares and you will be set....

i get the same problem, i install bearshare 5.1.0 lite. and change it to compatibility mode SP2 and set up the new db folder. but then i get the issue that it doesn't always want to connect sometimes it will connect for a few mins and then wont find anything and sometimes it wont connect at all. i have set up port forwarding and still doesnt want to connect. what can i do

please help

thanks

the removal of the library files in the db folder only solves the issue of the above described fatal error issue...it has nothing to do with connection issues...

since you are getting connected to some degree, either your ISP is filtering or the henchmen of the RIAA/MPAA are attacking your..the attacks can be mitigated by using PeerGuardian2
