that was going to be my next and last thing to try i am going to wright my hard drive to all zero's then reinstall every thing but put it in before updates it worked right up till i cleared my system about 3weeks ago


im just tired of messing with it if i cant get it to work heck with it im done this time it will eather work or it will go to the trash forever

As I said SP1 is ok,install chipset drivers as well.My graphic drivers require .net which I dont trust either, until I have Gnucleus working first.Even with broadband u will still have to wait a little while for the symbol to go green.This is the third time I have been unable to connect after removing Gnucleus & trying to reinstall w/out reformatting.
Preferably,minimum drivers is best,chipset,modem,Gnucleus & obviously after update, no music searches until the rest is in place.

ok i reformated my harddrive started at 11.am and finished at 10.pm i did my windows install and drivers loaded limewire off a disk installed modem and still the same problem im done with lime wire so after it still was not working i finished loading all my software and drivers scaners fax printers cardreaders and gave it one more try still no go so i did my norton and windows updates installed my firewalls removed limewire and tossed the disk in the trash its a done deal i spent more time on trying to get it to run than what its worth i have another program ill use till i find something else i like

thanks to you all for trying to help out with this

You didn't read my post properly!Bare minimum was what i was stressing.
Windows>chipset drivers>modem drivers>configure internet conn>latest Gnucleus & then wait for a reasonable time after connecting for someone else who has the right updates.After that little firecracker thing goes green,Bob's u'r uncle!
You don't need all your other progs to connect,even antivirus.Begin a test on a song & after it starts to d'load,stop it & THEN complete PAIN IN THE BUTT REINSTALL!

I just upgraded to Leopard 10.5, having firewall connection problem. Can any body guide me to the right pat.
