Gnotella crashes in WinXP
 

I installed Windows XP and now Gnotella 1.0.5 does not work. It opens fine, findes the hosts, and even finds "hits" when I search. But after a few moments, I get the "Gnotella must close now" window and then it shuts down. I don't have any idea why it's doing this and tells me it has an unhandled exception. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know. Thank you for your time.

If you have firewall such as ZoneAlarm, you may have to disable it.

But that connot be the reason, because I have no firewall and Gnotella does the same.

WinXP...
 

I got the same problem here... but if I disable Windows XP Visual Theme for Gnotella (in the properties of Gnotella shortcut), it works fine!

I had same problem, but the guys suggestion above worked! Thanks!

Windows XP Crashed -- but fixed!
 

Thanks for the fix -- disabling visual themes in the shortcut. That did the trick for me as well!!

I was able to instantly crash Gnotella 1.0.5 in XP by adjusting the size of the file column in the down window. However, I found that it crashed every now and then, regardless. Disabling theme fixed it. Give that person a cigar!! And horray for this forum!

No crashes Here!!
 

ive got zone alarm and windows XP but it dont crash on me!! not even when i turn on the xp theme in the shortcut menu!!

Maybe im just special!!

John014: try resizing the file column in the down window. That's where I was getting it to crash every time, all the time. I tired the "themes fix" and it seemed OK, but now I am finding it crashes at random.

Guest!!

how does one go about disabling visual theme in win xp? anyone help me?

I can't get it to setup after downloading it it starts to setup but when it gets to java set up it just shuts down I,am running full version xp pro

To turn off XP theme for a program: right click on the program name in the start menu. Select properties. Click the compatability tab. Check the disable themes box. Ta-dah!

Fix for setup in XP (Home or Pro)...

You need to download the Java Plugin for XP, regardless of what version. Microsoft made a big stink about including Java in XP because they've been fighting with Sun over the specs (too open and free-flowing for Microsloth).

About 5.5MB download... it will self-install, no restart is necessary (don't you love having 2000/XP?!). After that, run the Gnotella setup!

I've also used the Java version of LimeWire (sucks in comparison to Gnotella) with perfect results.

Gnotella 1.0.5 opens fine, finds the hosts, and even finds "hits" when I search. But after a few moments, I get the "Gnotella must close now" window and then shuts down. MSN dial up is my server. I don't have any idea why it's doing this. If anyone has any ideas please let me know. Thank you.
