Title: KaZaA
Post by: Serenity on August 25, 2003, 17:01

I need some help guys and before you all scream  ::) its to do with KaZaA  :o

I know a lot of you arent very fond of this program but  ive always liked using it BUT im having problems trying to get it to run on various screen settings so i thought Id uninstall it and re-install it again however for some reason it WONT uninstall  :-\

I keep getting THIS message in pop up box:

Error loading C:\windows\system32\cd_clint.dll  The specified module could not be found  :-[

Any ideas how I can delete it?  :-*

Are you using Kazaa or Kazaalite, Serenity?

If you are using Kazaalite, the .dll file you specify is actually a dummy file which has to be present for Kazaalite to work.  It may be that you have protected the file using AdAware or another Anti-Spyware program, as they do pick it up.  If you do have Adaware, I would first check to see that is hasn't been protected by the program.

Ok...The problem is.. ::)....If you run spybot or ad-aware it removes that dll file and wont run or uninstall... >:(

The solution is to reinstall Kazaa and it will put the file back on then you can un-install it before you run spybot and ad-aware.... ;) :-*

That's a pity, because although I uninstalled Kazaalite the same day as I last installed it (after the first two files I got from it had viuses) I must have run AdAware as soon as I installed it, because I have found a copy of cd_clint.dll in my Adaware quarantine area.  Although it is a dummy copy, it would have been enough to trick AdAware into thinking the genuine .dll file was present.

Another candidate for the 'Safe Computing' page, methinks.  Cheers, Hooky!   ;)
