Contact the makers of the firewall for a solution or get another firewall. Kazaa Lite crashes after a while Are you using Windows 95, 98 or ME? If so, those Operating Systems can only handle a limited number of simultanious connections to the internet. Each program that you have running that connects to the internet uses one or more of these connections. You have to reduce the amount of connections, so that your OS won't crash anymore. You can do that by closing down as many unneeded programs as possible. More importantly: Limit the number of simultanious downloads in Kazaa Lite. Also disable all tools that search for more sources (Speed Up, DietK, Kazap, etc.). This will hopefully solve your problem. Another possible reason for the instability can be a too low amount of available system resources and internal memory. Kazaa Lite uses a lot of system resources. Specially when you edit file details in the My Kazaa Lite window. So whenever you have editted a lot of file details, it is a good idea to restart Kazaa Lite to free up the used resources. Also when running Kazaa Lite, always minimize it to systray if you aren't using it. That will save resources too. Best is to put it on another window as the traffic view first. Restarting Kazaa Lite once in a while can help much. If you have less than 128 MB internal memory, you might want to consider adding some extra internal memory. This will improve the speed and stability of some programs. Besides memory is very cheap at the moment. There is a bug in some old versions of ZoneAlarm Pro that can cause this. Download the latest version of ZoneAlarm. Try the solutions from the topic "Things to do when Kazaa Lite crashes, freezes or has other stability problems". or A corrupted partial download It is possible that a partial download (.dat file) becomes corrupted. This can cause all kinds of stabilty problems. Solution: Move all of the .dat files out of your shared folder. After that start Kazaa Lite to see if the problem is gone. Now move back the .dat files one by one or a couple at a time. Restart Kazaa Lite everytime after you have put back some files. When the problem is back again, then you know which .dat file caused the problem. Delete that file. Corrupted database files Kazaa Lite stores information about your shared files in a couple of database files. These can get corrupted too, causing stabilty problems. Solution: Delete the database files. Kazaa Lite will create new ones next time you start it. However, you will lose all file descriptions that you gave to your shared files. The database files can be found in one of the following locations, depending on your version of Kazaa Lite: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Kazaa Lite\db C:\Documents and Settings\%your username%\Application Data\Kazaa Lite\db C:\windows\Application Data\Kazaa Lite\db C:\program files\kazaa lite\db\ Just look in the help file :D |
