Winmx still not working

[Anonymous]

I have downloaded the patch, and while I can now get online(green light)  I never get any results when searching.  This is probably something simple but I can't figure it out, please help

do you have a firewall or router?

as this is almost certainly due to either a firewall or router blocking winmx

https://www.winmxworld.com/tutorials/routers_info.html has some help if you have a router

https://www.winmxworld.com/tutorials/firewall.html has info for configuring firewalls

if you need any more help with this then let us know

Diva,

Right now we are unsure what is the cause of the crashing, whether its a simple error that can be corrected or whether its more then that we dont know..

For now the fix is this:

Rename your C:\Program Files\WinMx folder to \WinMx2

Then make a new installation of MX from the Install 1.9 choosing 98/ME as your operating system, even for XP users.

This will give you WinMx version 3.53 and the olepro32.dll patch for connection.  With this combonation you will need to install peer guardian 2 with our block list to keep the RIAA aka. Macrovision off your connection..

Until this problem is solved thats my best advice..
