Hi, I'm a professional lurker on this list....but....I figured I could help Kin Woo and the rest with their AudioGalaxy problems..... The AudioGalaxy software comes bundled with a 3rd party application called "web-hancer"....it is an EVIL piece of spy-ware that collects information about you and sends it off to marketing firms.....now....what makes it a REAL bastard is that if you attempt to un-install AudioGalaxy (and therefore Webhancer) WebHancer reconfigures your "Winsock" thus making it impossible to re-connect to the internet.....now....that may not be Mr. Woo's issue......but.....it is something to watch out for (at least in the older version of AudioGalaxy that I had)......the only solution I could find was to re-install WebHancer and make sure it doesn't load when your computer starts up... I'm sorry if this is all WWAAAYYY too techie....I'm no computer master by any means....just thought I could help.... I really enjoy reading all of your posts and such...... take care kids.... oh... and if you need more info......look at this site: http://www.securiteam.com/securitynews/5OP022K40E.html There is also alot of info about this issue on the web.... Hope I could help.......take care....

my dears, i know audiogalaxy is something rather akin to manna from heaven at this point in our post- napster lives, but something odd has happened to mine and for some reason i can't seem to reconnect, no matter how many times i have tried! so, i am sending a plea out to all you tech- savvy people out there- does anyone know of any program which is as good if not, even better than adiogalaxy from which to d/l mega- cool mp3's? where the people have impeccable taste in music, as they do on audiogalaxy? i tried kazaa but that sucked. ditto bearshare, for some reason!! i am desperate, i need my mp3 fix, and audiogalaxy is sending me up the freaking wall!
thanks, kin, pulling his hair out in WA
