Hey, kb123.
I also tried to run Blubster and had the same problem you're having. In my situation I had installed Clean Blubster. The advice I got (from Sharedholder) was to uninstall Clean Blubster and install the regular Blubster client. Then I was told to clean the regular client myself with AdAware or Spybot. I did that and yes, Blubster then worked for me.

I was also told that I could now uninstall the self-cleaned regular Blubster and then installing Clean Blubster would now work. When you uninstall the regular Blubster it leaves a folder called "Blubster Support" on your hard drive. Apparently the Clean Blubster needs something in that folder to work on some systems (probably just yours and mine!). I did not try to install the Clean Blubster so I do not know if this really works - I suspect that it does. Is it worth it? That will be your decision. Good luck.

Thanks eyeirritant for replying I will certainly try your suggestion, surely someone else must have had this same problem.
Thanks again :rolleyes:

After reading all the praise for Blubster how brilliant it&#39;s supposed to be I thought I would give it a try that&#39;s if it could be installed easily. :(

@kb123: I don&#39;t really participate in this forum (my reply to you was my first post) other than to seek information (so, I guess that makes me one of them there leachers&#33;). I, too, was attracted by all of Blubster&#39;s high praise. I know the frustration you went through after you had done what seemed to be a good install and then kept getting that damn "...encountered a problem..." message&#33;

I thought I&#39;d post once more just to say that Blubster worked great the first night I was on it. But, you know, over the course of the next few days, it really wasn&#39;t much different than any other P2P program I&#39;ve used. But I should add that my view is from a 56K perspective (you know...slow and not really able to "play with the big boys").

What was different, however, was that my computer developed a few "quirks" that hadn&#39;t been around prior to installing Blubster. When I ran AdAware and Spybot to "clean" the Blubster client they found about 30 spyware items of various kinds.
When I uninstalled Blubster (truthfully, I got sick of going backwards in qeues&#33;) a folder called "Blubster Support" remained on my computer. I don&#39;t know a lot about computers but most programs I&#39;ve used take everything away when I uninstall. All in all, I wasn&#39;t too keen on the Blubster experience.

I tried Ares. It installed easily and it has been working for me.

Most programs do leave something behind when you uninstall or add/remove, even if it&#39;s just in the registry.

I too have just started using Ares and like the look of it. Gave up on Blubster as didn&#39;t think it worth the hassle.

All great minds must think alike, I,ve been useing Warez myself since I had problems, works better than any other p2p I have tried. :beerchug:
