Specifying Username in Kazaa v.2.1

[trebora69]

I have just installed Kazaa v.2.1 on my windows XP workstation. When i open the application the Kazaa Media Desktop Options box is displayed. In the My Kazaa tab i specify a username. A message is displayed:
'The username you entered is either too long, or contains invalid characters. Please specify another username and try again.'
I have tried using different email addresses, uninstalling and reinstalling the application without success. I am logged on as the administrator. Any suggestions???

[nasrules]

dont use email addresses, it wont allow the @ bit. jus put the first bit like i have nasrules in the box so my uname is

nasrules@KaZaA

[Krell]

Did you try trebora69?

or I_LOVE_PUDDING ?

If you got it installed on your WORKSTATION so you can rip off your employer, then it's not an administrative privilidge problem.

try

Krell_thinks_this_is_shit

thats what I use, it works

[Galileo]

Try "krelephant_man".

[Krell]

Yah that would work, or maybe

Galileo_Galilei's_good_name_is_being_slandered_by_ a_dick_who_thinks_he_knows_everything_and_cant_kee p_his_freakin_mouth_shut_just_like_the_last_time_h e_caused_everyone_to_hate_him?


Or maybe

OOOwe_look_at_me_I_AM_A_ROCKET_SCIENTIST_and_I_wil l_comment_on_every_possible_thing_in_this_forum?

Nehhh, just stick with krellephant man, at least John Merrick was honerable, and tolerable.

[Galileo]

And now... a man with 3 buttocks...

Yes, look at what nasrules said, just enter a name, don't use the @kazaa, or @aol.com, or anything like that, just enter any name

BTW, maybe this fits with krell and G, http://www.silverraven.com/fy.htm , use it how you guys want....its not my fault if somebody dies

[Sockfulloflove]

don't put @ on your username. only use letters or numbers, nothing else.

i'd also recommend getting off kazaa cause it installs bad things like spyware and adware onto your comp. get the spyware/adware free version of kazaa called k++ here (http://www.k-lite.tk). its faster and better than kazaa.

When I open the program up comes the Kazaa Lite Options Box with the following tabs

My Kazaa Lite
Traffic
Advanced
Filter
Skins
Firewall
Messages

In the My Kazaa Lite tab I put in user name as asked
but when I click apply a text box pops up
that says

Please specify a valid email address

Only thing I can do is cancel
then the program opens but wont connect

I don't see anywhere to put in a email address

BTW: Thanks for Help

[method77]

try putting a single letter. Maybe you wrote strange symbols that are not allowed. The name is useless anyway!

[cpugeniusmv]

try something like this...

Well I did the single letter thing same problem

I know the name is useless
I've run kazaa before with no problems
I use WinMx now with no problems

I've been known to over look a checked box
at times but .......Damn makes this old man
want to beat my head on the wall

[method77]

reboot , try again.
or bang your head and use winMX.

Thanks but thats what I'm doing

If I knew how to capture my desktop with 2000 server
I'd show you that seem pic with the same name in it
only it would have a text box pop up
that says

Please specify a valid email address


*shrugs shoulders*

I don't know

[Sockfulloflove]

press the print screen button on your keyboard. then go to paint, paste it on their. save, then open it as an attachment in a post.

do that if you want to show us.

[HDRider]

Thanks for that bit of knowledge

Hmmm it didn't attach

[Sockfulloflove]

did it give you an error message or what?

[phalkon30]

Hey, duh, just had a thought here, this could be simple

What version of kazaa lite are you using? the old versions (I think 1.4 and below), required an email adress with every login name

Do you have the latest 2.1.0 K++ 2.03? get it from www.k-lite.tk

[HDRider]

Man I was hoping for something that simple but I'm using KaZaA Lite K++ 2.1.0 just d/l it today Thanks

[phalkon30]

Hmm, well, try and get us a screen shot of it, or better yet a few with different windows (just crop them down to what we need to see, and save them as .jpeg or .jpg, not .bmp)

I sent you a PM with a possible answer, I just didn't feel like posting that email adress in here

(I sent him my old user name and email that came with it, its a long shot, but worth a try)

[HDRider]

I want to thank everyone for the help last night

I tossed in the towel went to bed

Will again try sometime this week
phalkon30 I'll PM you back

Thanks Again

[nasrules]

try reinstalling and checking the "Delete all Kazaa registry keys before installing (resets all settings)" option. it may be that you've upgraded from an older version and it's got mixed up somewhere. see the attached pic:

[HDRider]

nasrules

You must be the man

Thank You ..Thank You.... Thank You

Works like a champ now :goodjob

[notbob]

here is the solution

if you are too stupid to use kazaa, you are too stupid to live

revell in your ignorance and become a business major ,venture capitalist, or tv/music executive

nobody will notice how stupid you are in those occupations
