DC++

all settings in dc++ are gone

Asked by Jimmy Pressler

when i went to open dc++ v. 0.674 all my settings were gone-all my favorite hub settings are gone,so i have no way to contact someone about re-installing them. i can't remember what the settings were, so i'm dead in the water. i haven't installed any new software - tried to run a restore point back to yesterday but it wouldn't let me HELP!! I'm running windows xp-home edition.

if anyone has the settings for hawks-family friends,country galaxy, and country star 3, i would appreciate them - i will try to re-install them myself so at least i can talk to an operator.

Go to C:\Program Files\DC++ to find your XML settings of DC++, since you are using Windows XP. By the way, the version that you are using is no longer getting any help support. Try upgrading to the latest version of DC++. If you need to find hubs & users, go to http://www.dchublist.com. If that doesn't work, google the user(s) and/or operator(s) running that hub or find them in a hub forum software like Ptokax, Verlihub, YnHub, etc. Hope that helps. Good luck!

Try using a Notepad and/or Wordpad to open XML file. If you are unable to open it, the XML file must be corrupt or damage.

In case you revert back to DC++ 0.674 & didn't like the latest version, make sure you have the XML files (ADLSearch, DCPlusPlus, Favorites, HashIndex & Queue) + Notepad, if anything written saved by going to C:\Program Files\DC++.

Can you help with this problem?
