Kyle
On the ME system you only need to deposit this into the C:\Windows folder and restart Winmx, then wait.. .

Roby some directorys in XP are different depending on the version of XP your running.

For now I suggest you try this newest patch that installs completly differently

Follow the instructions and link here

I too was having trouble installing the patch the first time. I would get the "Unable to write to file" message. But, the problem was not the patch. The problem was SPYBOT. The hosts file was locked as protection against spyware. Yes, I could name the file something else and install the patch but that leaves me open to spyware. The solution I used was to go into the advance mode, uncheck the lock on the hosts file, run the patch, re-add the Spybot hosts file and then re-lock the file. Everything works perfectly and I am still protected from spyware hacks to my hosts file. Hope this helps.

Install the Patch listed on our HomePage

Install this Patch Before you install WinMX.

Go here and get the download of WinMX.

Install like usual...

be aware that after install the setup wizard will run and try to check your firewall/router settings to ensure incomming connections are set up properly - this WILL fail, so click manual configure and select if this has been set up or not, if in doubt assume it isn't set up properly

After installing the patch and rebooting my computer, I received the following warning........."WARNING: You still have the modified host file installed." Do you wish to remove this? (This will reset it to the default file). What do I do? I've left the warning up on my desktop and it will stay there until i hear something. Please e-mail me at ssloveall91@cebridge.net. Thanks!

Josh I cant seem to hold a stable connection with your patch. or it seems to time out alot like I have no connection is that normal now or a result of fake files ?? tm

Me Here · « **Reply #59 on:** September 28, 2005, 04:23:02 pm »

The Patches are not responsible for holding a connection, the primaries your attached to are..

if you loose your connetion and have trouble getting it back i suggest you use KMs latest fix listed on the front page
