Specifying Username in Kazaa v.2.1

**trebora69** · February 18th, 2003, 02:43 AM

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???

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

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

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. its faster and better than kazaa.

Ok ..... I read that and tried it before posting
It did not fix the problem

Sockfulloflove thats the program I've installed

I used the name

hdrider

it says

Please specify a valid email address

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
