Bearshare Trouble

[Vladd44]

Are you running version 5.2? if not get it here http://download.bearshare.com/BSPROINSTALL.exe that "should" fix the problem.

If after this upgrade you still have trouble with BearShare, please try the following:

With BearShare NOT running, look in the directory where it is installed (likely "C:\Program Files\BearShare"). You should see a couple of directories named "db" and "Temp".

First, rename "Temp" to "Temp2", then restart BearShare. If it works now, then the problem was somewhere in the configuration files now in "Temp2".

If that didn't solve the problem, then while BearShare is NOT running, rename "db" to "db2", then restart BearShare. If it works after that, then the problem was somewhere in the configuration files now in "db2".

what does this

GLibraryWatchDb.cpp (#176) Fatal Error: Unable to load library database.

Reason: Generic Failure

BearShare will automatically attempt to create a new database when it is restarted. Your old database files have been saved for possible diagnosis. Contact technical support for more information.



actually mean tho, whats happened, and is it like very very serious, or is it just something thats gone wrong with your bearshare????

[Vladd44]

The database bearshare created to keep track of active dls etc got corrupted on your comp, so its rebuilding. No it sucks, but its by no means a huge event.

I need some help with this problem. Everytime I try to open Bearshare, and it crashes and gives me this message.

.\ GLibraryWatchDb.cpp (#176) Fatal Error: Unable to load library database.

how can it create a new database




Does anyone know what that means, or how could I fix this problem?

[Mr.Fix]

Here is what you do, got to "C:\Program Files\BearShare\db"

delete every thing in the folder except "searches"

then Vualla


Simple...


Yeah Love you too.

Just go here:

http://www.bearshare.com/help/faq-bugs-crashes.htm it explains it

[Guest]

You do not need to delete the entire bearshare folder, just go into C:\BearShare\db and delete everything in that folder. Sinply Running Bearshare after doing this, will force new, clean, uncorrupted files to be written.

That's the ticket, worked perfect. Thanks a million!

I Just deleted baershare, deleted the bearshare folder, and then started from scratch by re-installing it. Works perfect.

[Nelle]

[guest]

[odot]

[maryjeannine]

i am having the same problem as everyone else with bear share only i get error #170. i took bearshare completely off my computer then reinstalled and i get the same message. eveywhere i look everyone is getting the same exact message only error # 176. whats the difference and what do i do to get back into bearshare. your help would be greatly appreciated. i would change to another music site but i already paid for bear share. thank you so much.....

[Vladd44]

Not sure this will correct your problem, but it is worth a shot.

Go to bearshare folder and then the db folder. Delete or copy to another folder all the " LATEST " lib*.db files ONLY ( NOT THE LAST GOOD LOAD FILES OR OTHERS). reboot and all should work.

Files that no longer load should show in your console in red. To correct, go into your part files folder delete the .dat file and then change the .dat.bak file to .dat and restart bearshare.

When i open my bearshare, it changes my resolution from 1024X768 to 6XX something. It is the newest version out right now. If anyone can help me i would greatly aprectiate it.
Thanks in Advance
