Nope, no idea. :)

Perhaps you're asking in the wrong places.

Oh yeah, and be sure to give them more info than you posted here.
System specs, Shareaza version, average time the program runs before crashing... that kind of thing.

I have found that Shareaza will crash some times whne other app is running, especially KL.

have you upgraded your version to 1.8.10.4? That might help I just did that to mine today.

I once read on there forms that if you have Nimo codec pack installed this could cause it to crash

If too many internet connections (each download source, upload, upload request, search, network connections, web surfing attempts, etc) are open at once, it can crash Windows.

Win 9x/ME are notoriously bad in this regard, as 100 connections max is their limit before they are guarenteed to crash.

Wireless routers also are more limited than many other connection types on max connections at once.

So opening multiple file-sharing programs at once that BOTH like to make lots of connections is a recipie for disaster unless you limit ALL of them to conservative values.

I never had that problem on XP but on windows ME :x

I have recently read in MULTIPLE PLACES that Shareaza's connectivity to the Gnutella 1 network is horrible. Usually it fails, at least with older versions of Shareaza. What then happens is Shareaza keeps trying more and more connections... till it connects or crashes -- and guess which comes first on Win ME! :P

Shareaza sometimes crashes when trying to preview large partially-downloaded video clips.

Don't ask me why! ;)
