I know WInMX doesn't use resources from Windows library, so I simply copy the WInMX folder from my
Win98 to WinXP.

Evertything works just fine for me, I can connect to WinMX files sharing servers.; but when I try to enter words of chinese (Big5), they just become unreadable sybmols, like this ??[]??..

Please tell what I should do!

Are there settings in WinMX application that can help me solve this problem?

^^^^^^ So does this tutorial . Please have a look. Just (mentally) put Chinese instead of Japanese everywhere. That's all

Cheers

I am having problems connecting. I just installed WinMX v3.54 beta 4. Solutions?

Have you tried the patch for WinMX if you have tell us and we then can narrow down what is the problem. If you have not installed the Patch get it from here. www.winmxgroup.com

also if you have tried the Patch could you give us more details ie ISP, Using Router, Behind any Firewalls, Operating System, Thank kind of thing yet again it helps us narrow issue down

if you had another version previously & installing 3.54 stoped you connecting, then the commonest fix is to remove the rules for winmx from your firewall & then re allow it, many will block when the exe changes.. the xp firewall in particular seems to do so without giving you the option to allow the change, most other firewalls ask.

As recommendated by WInMX world, I installed Sygate.
Sygate is really useful and user-friendly.

I am now using AVG and Sygate in my WinXP SP2 Home.

Try what Bearded Blunder said and if thats does not help try what i said if not state what you have done.

Now that you have sygate, see if the windows firewall is still on. If it is on, then turn it off. Having two firewalls can always cause a mess. Disable it and keep sygate.
