More confusion!!! I performed the clean install of Grokster
as explained so thoroughly by JS (in fact, I printed out the destructions he posted, to avoid mistakes). Everything seemed to go according to plan, except that my Windows|System folder did not contain an "old" cd_clint.dll to move to another folder.
But the rest of the install went exactly as directed.
Here's the mystery. When I booted up my computer this morning, a Grokster message box appeared on my desktop, looking for internet connection to update information. I complied with this.
Within minutes, I ran ad-aware, and found another cd_clint.dll had been downloaded! This, I deleted.
I then tried to open Grokster. No go - I was informed that an essential part of the programmme had been deleted!
I then re-installed Napho's cd_clint.dll, checked Grokster, and the application ran normally.
Did I omit something in the installation, or does this Grokster update box appear with every re-boot? I guess the thing to do is just cancel it out, if that is what happens.
Any further suggestions?
