my version works just fine and dandy....

I smell a big hairy rat here....

any links to an outside site with a supposed replacement for this file will result in the banishment of the user posting....

Hi, I have managed to download bearshare lite 5.2.5, it is opening without getting previous said message but is not conecting the the gnutella network, i tried downloading the 'expired beta 5.1.0b25 and using bearstart utility to run it (as suggested) but it will not run as it says it has expired. Bearshare lite 5.2.5. was suggested through 'read this' link above. Now when i go open it the user account control asks me first if i will allow the 'unidentified program' to run, i allow but as said it wont connect to network.
thought i had it but obviously not..

I don't smell a rat, I just want my damn bearshare to work again. All the other file sharing sites suck! Seems like no one can help us.

i agree msaerxiya69, will keep trying though

I am at work right now, but tonight I am going to try and just download a new bsidle.dll file. I googled bsidle.dll and it gives you a website to download a new one. I'll let you know if it works.

well, every once in a while I get that message....but that's only been when my system was clogged down with other activities or needed defragmentation....so I would suggest doing a defrag on your machine (should be done monthly at least)...

again, I would NOT trust some site to have the appropriate .dll file (at least not having had a trojan added in)....ever stop to think that perhaps some malicious file is being spread which deletes the driver, which forces you to search and find a replacement (which is being provided by the dillholes who made the malicious software)????

as far as connecting...just let it keep trying...eventually you will get connected to a host...read the thread I linked to in its entirety and you will get some good tips on how to set up and run the expired beta....and remember, always use PeerGuardian2 when using any p2p program....

thanks for that, i will read that again, er.. what is peerguardian2??

Here is how to fix the problem with the missing BSidle.DLL file.

Go to a search engine and search BSidle.dll

Download the driver from one of the search engine results.

Save the downloaded dll file to your desktop, then move it to Program Files/Bearshare.

Bearshare should now open.

angel how did you get past the dll error?

peerless - i am trying to tell you that about 8 months ago i was running the version of bearshare provided by your link in this thread as well as the bearshare has been sabotoged thread. it was working fine until a couple days ago and that error about the file "bsidle.dll" came up and since then i cannot use bearshare. i ran a search through my c drive for the "bsidle.dll" file and there were no results. you don't know how this could have happened? I deleted the version provided on the sabotoged thread and re-installed it and it still won't work. please help if you can.

i uninstalled (again) and turned off mcafee (again) and it seemed to work this time - why i am not sure. I tried the expired bearshare prog but that wouldnt open so i downloaded bearshare lite 5.2.5 from the link in lord of the rings thread 17 Hours Ago 06:34 PM
