BearShare is no longer the same program it was & is controlled against copyright sharing. The program sold out under pressure from a court case.

vaisforlovers go to your LW Pro download page & download the 'Other' version. It does not require installation; see Download ‘Other’ version & simply unzip & use!. This used to run fine on the other windows versions, I presume it works for Vista also, but I do not know for sure.

LW Preferences folder in VISTA is 'Hidden', it is within a hidden folder. So you need to turn on Show all Files & Folders from the View options in your vista search function. http://www.gnutellaforums.com/genera...der-vista.html
LW Preferences are created when you open the program the first time & set the options such as where to download to, shared folders, speed settings, etc.

If that option of 'Other' version does not work, try installing LW Pro again using the installer. Make the LW Installer set to Admin by right-clicking the installer & setting it to Run as Administrator. After installing you may need to do the same for the actual program. I do not use VISTA so can only go by what I've read elsewhere. Oh ... you may need to do that for the 'Other' version ... set it to run as Administrator.
