Make sure you have downloaded BearShare from BearShare.com, as there several "bad" versions of BearShare out in the wild. then if still having problems go to this GnutellaForums - BearShare as they know a lot about BearShare (Remember to give them details about what version of Windows you are using, as you might have a wrong version of some DLL).

Also if you want your WinMX to work again, then get a patch from WinmxGroup.com and it should start working again.

 

And please don't PM random members asking questions. You posted your question here, and that will be far more effective then sending PMs all over the place. Thanks.

 

Bearshare is full of spyware. You are better off not installing it.

 

As said before bearshare is full of garbage. Try using one of these alternative p2p programs http://forums.majorgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=73247
