[ex] Shorty,
Sounds like you may have a system file problem on that machine. Couple things to check.

One make sure you have a C:\Documents and Settings\user\local settings\temp. If you dont then create one.

Also its possible you may have to be logged in as the administrator of that machine.

If these things still dont work check your system files.

System File Checker - This is one of the most useful tools built into windows XP, it can be called into operation from the the command prompt (Start - Programs - Accessories - Command Prompt/Dos Prompt ). Once you have the command prompt box open type sfc/scannow and hit enter. It will often require you to insert a operating system disk to make any repairs to the file system that it detects might be corrupt.

Give these a try, then retry to download the Install 1.9.exe from www.winmxgroup.com then make sure its 1.3MB in size when done downloading then retry the installation.

Okay first of all I just switched DSL providers but before i did that i formated my hard drive so I could start off fresh. Well I lost WinMX. I had it on cd so I tried to put it back on here but when I try I get a NSIS Error. It says the installer is corrupted or incomplete. And that it may be possible to skip this check using the /NCRC command line switch. I thought it might just be the file I was using but I went to a bunch of different sites and tried downloading winmx and still ran into the same problem I tried to download the pie patch and it says the same damn thing. I don't know whats going on. I just know I need help. If anybody can help me or give me some advice on fixing this please e-mail me at shorty_5@msn.com.

Hi Biatch,
Welcome to the site.. we LOVE you too ..

Now, it sounds like you may either have a port problem not allowing the transfers or possibly that your running into the fake files..

Make sure your using the filters to search, you can see an example and read abit about the fakes here:
https://www.winmxworld.com/tutorials/filtering_fakes.html

Also make sure that if the XP firewall is on, you have ports set in it for WinMX to use:
https://www.winmxworld.com/tutorials/firewalls-xp-sp2.html

And that you have set WinMx as a 'trusted Zone' in the Zone Alarm firewall..

Let me know how if that helps ya..

Hi your not alone, and although I cant be sure who is doing the attacking of users at this time its not good at all.. we are having a terrible time determining a common issue that could cause this.. so the best advise i have for now is this:

Rename your C:\Program Files\Winmx to WinMx2
Install the Install 1.9.exe for a 98/ME operating system, this will work fine on XP, however if a user is primary it will NOT block the riaa, they will need to use peer guardian with our block list found here:
https://www.winmxworld.com/tutorials/block_the_riaa.html

For now this is working, we are unsure if its the ws2_32.dll under attack or winmx 3.54 at this time, although we have nearly 50 or more users with crashing problems we have thousands without it running many different combonations of 3.53 and 3.54 .. thats the best info and advice I can give at this time..

Hi. I'm browsing the site to find out why WinMX doesn't connect. Tried the link listed in your post (below). The link downloads a zip file, but when I open it, it says "Cannot open file. It's not a valid file". Thought I'd let you know. Great site btw.

We are asking folks to install the newest version of WinMX..

Its 3.54 beta 4 ..

to install it you need only replace you the unziped WinMX.exe from our Archive with the WinMX.exe from your WinMX folder in program files and restart..

httpss://archive.winmxworld.com/WinMX/Beta/winmx354beta4.zip

That belongs in your C\Program Files\WinMX folder..

then restart WinMX... 8[/img]

Which patches exactly - only from this site or from somewhere else too?
And did you install them all, without deinstalling if it didn't work?

I have Windows XP Professional. I have previously downloaded all patches available with no success. I had a secondary connection with Cable and a wireless router. Please let me know if you need any more information

Timothy there is a hosts file that your computer came with in the C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc... folder For Xp.
Often times folks have messed with this way too much trying to get connected. By installing this file you are simply replacing it with the one that came with your operating system.

This is where you need to place the Original Hosts File in that zip file listed above.

Timothy could you tell me a bit about what patches you have tried and what operating system you have, like Windows xp, 98, etc...

Thanks...

For anyone not connected please follow these instructions:

First I want you to insure that we start fresh...any previous fixes you have used can either be moved to a new folder you make to save for a back up or deleted completely.

1) I want you to download this original hosts file that comes with standard Windows operating systems

https://www.winmxworld.com/files/original_hosts_file.zip

2) Unzip that to your C;\Windows\system32\drivers\etc folder for XP
or C:\Windows folder for 98/ME.

3) Now I want you to uninstall WinMX, if you want your settings to be saved all you need to do is save the Settings.dat and the library.dat file from your existing WinMX folder into that new folder.
Delete any short cuts to WinMX your using now. Desktop or Start Menu ones.
After you uninstall WinMX, please verify that there is no folder in C:\Program Files\WinMX

4) Now I would like you to redownload the Install 1.9.exe from here:
https://www.winmxgroup.com/Install-1.9.exe
Reason for redownload, a few folks didnt get a full download due to the size and speed of the download.
This file should be approx. 1.3MB in size on completion of download.

5) Now reboot the computer for me at this time.

6) Now run the Install 1.9.exe and make a clean installation of WinMX on your computer for XP or 98/ME.

7) Once this has installed if it connects fine for you at his time then you done and ready to use it. You can now add your settings.dat and library.dat files to your new folder of WinMX to get your settings back.

8.) If your using XP and it doesnt connect I want you to shut down WinMX and do a dns flush:

Start > Run type in 'cmd' then hit OK
Then in the dos box type 'ipconfig /flushdns' and hit enter.

9) Now restart your WinMX

Let me know how this went for you
