Like most of you who had/have problems getting connected with Windows XP SVP2, I did a system restore to September 18 (pre-shut down date) before installing the Patch and VOILA! Finally it's working. I don't know why it wasn't working before, but after trying all the patches on the web, this one (
www.winmxworld.com) worked.
I right clicked on the link, saved it to WinMX and started WinMX. I hope this will help some of you who are as knowledgable as I am about computer stuff (meaning...not much!).
Good luck and long live WinMX!
