 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?

Yea I got one. Don't bother with Croakster. I wen't thru the routine with the clint thing and all, and all that Croakster did was take over my IE browser, caused it to malfunction rendering it useless causing me to repair explorer and random adds popped up anyway. It is a rogue piece of spyware that took me a couple of hours to fix my pc. It's up to you of course if you want to continue using it, but for me, if this is what the next generation of p2p is going to be, then I won't be too thrilled about future p2p apps. I'll limit what I use that is free of spyware or go with a hacked, spyware stripped version or just go FTP. I normally don't bother too much downloading spyware riddled software, but I figured I'd install Croakster and remove the bullshit but it didn't quite work that way. With so many spyware free apps to use that are spyware free, I'll use one of those.
