yes i ran two versions .... both adware, spybot and the latest versions in safe mode. I ran an antivirus check in safe mode as well.... The problem is still not corrected unfortunately.... I also followed the instructions in the help menu of kazaa lite ..... for example i added a bunch of dynamic link library files to the windows/system path

oh btw thanks any other suggestions? i reviewed the registry , deleted files that were created as a result of the virus ...... also my windows media player does not work . I tried to manually uninstall kazaa lite and than reinstall it..... probably a bunch of other things ... but i still can't get it working :( :helpsmile: :(

You uninstall using the uninstaller? :unsure: And reinstall ticking the box "delete all kazaa lite registry keys before installing"?

Also, after reading your post above, i think your installer may be corrupt as that error looks like a installation error to me. Try downloading a fresh copy. Kazaa Lite K++ 2.4.3 Can Be Downloaded From Here (http://www.oldversion.com/program.php?n=kazaalite)

I don't usually tell people to reinstall, but if you were struck with a worm that screwed up countless files, I think that would be the easiest
next time run a firewall and a better AV as your old one doesn't seem to work

i have reinstalled the program I did a thing to check off so that it would reinstall all the registry values again. As well, I have the latest version of Norton Antivirus and pay for the subscription thingy so that it is as up to date as possible... there must be something else please and thank you :( :helpsmile: :) sorry for the hardtime... i guess i'd edit the post to be very clear about what happens the program starts to load you see a little bit in the status menu or whatever it's called in the bottom right one or two kazaa lite icons may appear if i click it again the kazaa lite it says not responding..

[muchspl2]

run spysweeper or housecall, just because you pay for norton doesn't mean jack, its one of the least secure AV's you can get just on popularity alone

[3.6gpacompengstudent]

when i look at manual removal instructions for viruses they usually seem to tell you to remove an entry in h_key_local_whatever_software_microsoft_windows_run or whatever it is but on that i don't seem to have any bad files there and i did check the virus thing... i did a scan with that both programs no viruses were found although one program claimed 17 cases of adware although i don't see how that should effect my program's execution. i don't really want to spend a couple hundred dollars on more software unfortunately... so that's my reason for not buying those programs also cause i don't see them as really coming to teh solution in any way.... any suggestions or insight as to why the program is not running? Or is this like the solution to the problem? to me i don't believe this is the solution to the problem as the spysweeper or housecall could not find any viruses or worms ... just spysweeper claimed there was adware.... but like i said lots of other adware programs that are free were run and did not find any...

Look dude, if you arent gonna lisen to what say, why bother asking the question in the first place?! :rolleyes:

Try with a fresh copy of the installer and do exactly as muchspl2 said

It should be clear that I did listen to what you have said and I appreciated your contribution. Unfortunately, I did not feel that your reasoning was extensive enough to come up with the solution to my problem and I was not looking to knock your idea only to offer reasons for my doubt. The reasons for my doubt were only to help you help me in finding the appropriate solution to the problem or potentially have you clarify your instructions as to why I may not have followed them exactly correctly.

Nevertheless, on a different note, I was able to arrive at the solution. I feel that it is important to follow up with this, so that other users who potentially encounter this will be able to solve the problem much easier without going through the hardship of wasted time that I experienced when trying to solve this problem.

Essentially, the Windows XP updates continuously add new security features. The new Windows XP updates cause Kazaa Lite to breach the features. You must run the Program Compatibility Wizard in the Accessories menu to allow this program to be run. For more instructions on this program follow the following link: http://www.winbookcorp.com/_technote/WBTA20000861.htm.

At the same time I would like to thank all people who corresponded and tried to help me. I bid you all a good week and hopefully we shall continue to help each other in such a way as to help improve our everyday lives.

Thanks a lot,

I ran the program Compatibility Wizard. It worked. I think?:blink:
But an other problem remains.
Kazaa ( version 2.7.0 )uses up all cpu space.:angry:
And when closing I get this WER254.tmp.dir00\Kazaalite.kpp.mdmp
So it seems not to be solved.
Strangely downloading works but it takes all cpu.
I had an other version but X cleaner threw away some things and it was disabled. So I had to download again.:huh:
(Englisch is not my native language. Reading works fine for me, but writing needs a little bit more experience:pinch: )
Thanks in advance for any help with this.-:)
