???
I recently upgraded to Windows 7 . I had version 0.25 and it worked 5 or 6 times and stopped working. I donated and upgraded to 0.31.2. It then worked 3 or 4 times and stopped working. What happens is i execute the program and it gives the hourglass for a few seconds and goes away. Any idea what might be the problem?

Windows Vista is incorrect. I am running Windows 7.

It then worked 3 or 4 times and [....] stopped working.
Since other users have been using Alt.Binz without probs under Windows 7 (and others haven't ;)), it would help if you could give some info about anything that happened between "3 or 4 times" and "stopped working". Don't worry about the Vista thing, it just means it won't save user info to Program Files.

Unfortunately, there isn't much to say. It worked, i downloaded some files, and the next time i tried to use it, it didn't work. I just gives me an hourglass (or the circle trhing in Win7) and then it goes away. I'm not sure it's a Windows 7 thing. Maybe a memory issue since Windows 7 is more demanding?

Start fresh. Delete all config files from both altbinz root directory and/or users/user/appdata/local/altbinz
Copy exe file outside program files filder.

Thanks for the reply. i wiped it completely clean and stareted over and it doesn't work. I guess I am going to have to go with GrabIt and I'm not happy about that.

Where is altbinz located exactly? Is UAC enabled or not? Is there anything else in altbinz dir?
-
the old version was C:/program fles (x86)/Altbinz/. The new one is just the executable on the desktop.
I don't know what UAC is.
FYI, I installed Grabit and used it 2 times. It then proceeded to do exactly the same thing, so at this point i am thinking it might be my antivirus blocking them!?!? CA Antivirus can be overbearing.
Any help would still be cool.

Delete all setting once again (from users/user... dir) Then put altbinz.exe in c:\altbinz and try again.

I uninstalled my CA Antivirus program and it did the trick. Now i just have to figure out how to get my antivirus back and disable that feature.
