Can anyone tell me what is going on w/ my DC++? Every time I try to start the program it goes through the little splash screen then shows up for like a split second and then closes for good. This happens every time.

Undermind · **not just me -** March 11th, 2003, 02:18 PM

I recently found out I'm not the only one this has happened to, I feel a little better knowing it's not just a fluke, but it still means I'm fuct, lol

Hah, on my first use, it does this, you have no idea the great impression I have of this program at the moment....

I think I got .24, and have never had anything installed for DC or DC++ in the past

btw, .24 was released today I guess, just checked the changelog, released on the 11th

Undermind · March 11th, 2003, 02:46 PM

where are the P2P gods when you need them?

BTW it is a good prog when it decides to work, lol

I've had this happen to me with other programs what usually works for me is:

1. Uninstall the program, and then reinstall.
2. Defragment the hard drive - (Don't laugh, it works)

If that doesn't work, then try to remember any new programs that you installed recently and see if uninstalling them will help.

What also might work is open the task manager and see if any conflicting programs, or processes are running and see if shutting them down will help.

Alot of smart people here. Maybe someone will come up with a better answer than me.

Well . . .since notbob hasnt jumped in here yet, allow me.

The DC++ newest revs do have issues guys. Its been rock solid, but I have been following the reports today across hubs in broken English, and its not just you that are having issues.

The v.232 PEACE EDITION has only one issue that I am aware of, its the addition of a "FINISHED DOWNLOADS" button, DONT click it !

If you try to go back further than that, You wont be able to join most hubs, they will tell you that your client is too old.
(sound familiar?)

So . . . were going to treat this just like we did when Winmx went to version 3. If you have XP, uninstall it, and then use the Program Compatability Wizard to run it under W2000 or W98 Compatability. Or, get the .232 version.

Also, for those of you that are a bit more advanced, it is common to import your old settings, however, of your queue or file list get too large, it will make DC++ stall on startup . . . MyList.DcLst Queue.XML

Edit: I cant see why anyone would go back to Winmx after DC++, I actually had to check to see if Winmx was even installed! its not.

Cannot connect to DC++ for more that 3secs
hi there,

whenever i try to open the window for DC++ it wont stay open for more than 3 seconds. this is really annoying because it was fine, but then this started happening... i have not changed any of the settings and as i said it did work before.

OK, my OP is Windows XP PRO
and the version is DC++ 0.24

thanx for your help

Undermind · March 11th, 2003, 04:10 PM

it's good to see Krell join in on the fun. Well, I tried what Winphuk had suggested, but I still got nothing, I will pay a visit to my local DC forums and see what I can find

WhitePony · **Yup... -** March 11th, 2003, 04:34 PM

...same problem here.

For anyone looking for previous versions of DC++, go here

Sockfulloflove · March 11th, 2003, 04:34 PM

i'm still running on 0.233 and i get an error message when i open it and have to end up closing it. if i upgrade to .24, do you think it will do anything?

WhitePony · March 11th, 2003, 04:53 PM

Nope...

This is very weird...I tried with both 0.232 and 0.24, changed compatibilty modes, and the same thing happens everytime. I´m running WinXP w/ SP1 too.

Don´t tell my I´m gonna have to resort to NeoModus DC...

yeah, same thing here, it's like nothing works, and that's weird 'cuz I have not done any major system changes. I too am running XP Pro w/ SP

Krell · March 11th, 2003, 05:11 PM

I am running .232 without problems, and I am NOT disconnecting lol

A search for the word Hurley yealded a ton of results from all 6 hubs, so . . as far as I can tell, Im good.

I think, just be patient.

WhitePony · March 11th, 2003, 05:13 PM

Found a solution!

A temporary one though...

Check out this slight DC++ mod

It´s a mod for version 0.231 but it also has a feature that´s been requested by many : upload bandwidth control!

It´s working for me right now...

Undermind · 05:32 PM

what you need to do is open the file "hosts" which is located in C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc with notepad, and at the bottom add:
"0.0.0.0 dcplusplus.sourceforge.net"

after you are in the program you have to delete what you added or else you can't get the pub hub list, after that you should be good. I tried it and it works fine, I haven't had to do anything else, I closed the prog and restarted it without a hitch

something that might come up w/ older versions or mods is that you might not be allowed into certain hubs, but who knows, give it a shot
