Thanks - I'll give it a try.

Peerless is giving you the straight-shooter answer !

NEVER, EVER install the so-called BearShare 6.x.x

It is commercial garbage and a total lie.

And, if you try any other of the 5.x.x series version, other than that recommended by Peerless, and BearFlix pops up when you search for a movie, DO NOT CLICK ON IT !
NEVER !

Tahnks again. BearShare 6.2 seems to work fine but BearFlix doesn't. But I'll probably take your advice and 'downgrade'.

(any idea how to clear the history in BearSaher 6.2???)

Me again -

Uninstalled BearShare 6.2, installed the beta as suggested. It won't start either - same symptoms as bearflix mentioned above.
So I tried 5.1 non-beta and it won't start either.

???

hmmm...well when I've found myself in your shoes I would first uninstall the program (in your case a flavor of BearShare) then go into the registry and delete every reference to said program (yes, it can be a pain to look into every part of the registry to get every one of them)...then I would reinstall the program and then see if it worked...if that failed I would then back up all data and do a complete reformat and clean install of the OS...

I've found that the amount of time to go beyond editing the registry in an attempt to fix an issue is usually greater than the time it takes to do a reformat and new install of an OS....

if you have Norton System Works then using one of the utilities to check for windows errors might solve your issue....its pretty damn good at finding and removing registry errors..I have never used a program like Registry Mechanic, so I can't give any recommendations beyond Norton's which I've used for years...
