after changing the properties to compatibility mode and run as administrator, it worked fine.. but then, when i tried uploading a new library folder (for music uploading) it shutsdown again.. i noticed that the new folder that i added in the library contains other file types other than .mp3 (such as .flv & itunes folder, etc..) so what i did was just erased all the other files, other than the mp3's and bearshare worked once more...

So is your installation of Bearshare is still running OK on your Vista machine or have you had problems? What version of BSLite are you running? I want to install BSLite on my Vista Ultimate laptop but I don't want my laptop to get screwed up. I have BSLite on my XP box and it runs just fine.
