Every time I open windows, a message pops up telling me
that p2p networking cannot start the server. What does
that mean and how can I get that to stop?
-Thanks :)

This is probably due to a spyware program
but could also possibly be a virus.

Let's do this:

Control Panel | Internet Options | General tab

Delete all cookies
Delete all temporary internet files
(include all offline content)
Remove all Downloaded Program Files
To do that, you click on that "settings"
button and then click on the "view Objects"
button and then right click and choose remove
for all of them, if any, one at a time.
Close the Downloaded Program Files window,
Click OK to the Settings window.
Now clear History

Now click on the "Advanced" tab at the top
of Internet Options.
In the browsing section, uncheck the box for
"Enable third-party browser extensions (requires restart)
Click "Apply" and then "OK" at the bottom
of Internet Options
Close out of Control Panel
Restart the computer

Download one or both of these Anti Spyware programs
and install them and scan your system and delete any
spywares. You can also update these programs and then
scan again. If you have a working Anti Virus program,
then update it and scan with it, otherwise use one of
the free online virus scanners:

Unfortunatley Adaware will not target that P2P Networking garbage, since it
is not related to Data Mining software.
I'm taking it you got this with the new KaZaa 2.5.x version.
If you can't uninstall it from Add/Remove you will have to edit it out of
the registry and stop it's running processes and delete the related folders,
all related to AltNet and P2P Networking.exe
Let me know and I'll post a list for stuff to remove, as it integrates with
the control panel as well.

Thank you for that information Option^Explicit.

KaZaa sure is a wonderful program. What a great bunch of people
must be responsible for it.

Hey, here's a fine idea... let's share files with every Tom, Dick, and Harry
out there on the Internet that might be infected with who knows what and do
it
with a program that infests our systems with spyware.

What could possibly go wrong?

=====================================================
 
I am having the same problem and when trying to delete
Kazaa from add/remove programs it says other users are
using it. Have 3 users. One user does not get the error
and the other two do. Any help would be appreciated. tks
in advance.
