Winmx3.3 suddenly stop responding :(

[AoiM]

Hello:
hum.... well winmx 3.3 could be pretty, all flashy and new... but it keeps freezing after long usage, suddenly the program stops working and i can't access or modify anything, all i can do is to move the windows and refresh a search using the keyboard if im in the search window, but can't make anything else even close windows or the program, when i close the program with the task manager (win xp) it says winmx is waiting a answer of me ¿?¿?, wth is happening here! im using windows xp in a AMD Athlon , and i never have had this problem with winmx2.6 (or anyother program) so i went back there :P untill i find out whats happening.

any idea?
^_^

try secondary connection. and try to limit the number of programs you are using. also if you haven't scanned for ad ware in awhile you should try that. All should help improve perfomance.

I have exactly the same problem... I was on Win 98 but then upgraded to XP Corporate. Now after about 1 minute of starting Win MX my computer freezes for about 20 secs, then works for about 20 secs & so on & so on..... GOD ITS FRUSTRATING.....!!!!

[Sir-Viesta-Nigra]

Where can i d/l ver 2.6 of win mx...?

any help is appreciated

[evilmegaman]

Search for it on winMX dude ;)

[Sir-Viesta-Nigra]

I can't the damm thing crashes every 20 secs....!!!......lol.....

[evilmegaman]

Try another program and search then ;) (Gnutella maybe?)

You can still get winmx 2.6 there, http://www.geocities.co.jp/SiliconValley-Sunnyvale/1750/winmx.lzh

I have adware 5.83 and i dont use to have many programs running so i don't think that the reason to stop responding, i believe winmx3.3 is the one failing, what else can i though if i havent had this problem before? , maybe is not full compatible with winxp, hum... using a secondary connection will only make it harder because im behind a firewall and maybe itll add more compatibility problems.

Ive had no problems with 3.3. Also, i belive that 2.6 is shut down now, except for opennap.

[Caitlyn Marble]

If your behind a firewall try changing the portshttp://homepage.ntlworld.com/j.buchanan/index.html

The problem using ver 3.3 only started just a few days ago when i installed XP....It worked fine on 98.

[Caitlyn Marble]

There have been some issues with XP and the primary connection....:fire

[Sir-Viesta-Nigra]

Think i'll go back to Kaza.....lol.

Anyway it's 2am here in london so i'll bid ya all goodnight.

If anyone comes up with a solution pls let me know.

Caitlyn Marble> sorry i confuse you, because im behind a firewall since the beginning have been using only the secundary connection, yeah the one u can't open your own chan and that don't take a little bandwidth to redirect users.

this is what it makes still more weird the fact my winmx3.3 crash, when i start it all its fine, im a chatroom, doing a search&browsing a few users,d/l&u/l a few files and then ... pofff.... all freezed, task manager report is that its working normally don't even show the message this programs has stopped responding... blah... blah blah, really odd.

i have nothing against 3.3 is pretty and looks cool but the lack of stability makes it unworthy, at least for me.

Same problem here. Not so sure what causes the issue, but the error decreased when I set compatibility mode to WINDOWS 2000. Win98 compatibility locks it up more. Tried a clean install, deleted EVERYTHING that had to do with previous versions of winmx, and still nothing.:mellow

[[LaDeus]]

U run the installation on compatibility mode or set it after installed? Cuz it crash when i try set it to 98 on my current installation [but not with win2000 mode]

[AoiM]

nice... so u did a clean install with compatibility W2k and all is going cool after that... interesting.

have to try that.

I don't know what the hell you guys are complaining about, there is nothing wrong with WinMX 3.3 as far as I can see. I'm running a moderately fast PC: 700 MHZ PIII with 256 MB RAM w/ WinXP and I have yet to see any problems at all.

[Caitlyn Marble]

I'm not staring at you. A certain British guitarist is.

Krell> great... that worked i did a clean install with w2k compatibility and i already have a day without any problems^_^.

neoufo51> haha.:fire
