While I was out of the house today, DC++ (A popular multihub DirectConnect client) shut itself down, and now I can't get the bastard to run again; Every time I run the program, it closes itself within one second.
Anybody else having this problem? Can anybody tell me what the hell happened?
EDIT: Solved my own problem, but I'll put up the solution here anyways in case anyone else has the same problem.
Open up your hosts file (on Windows XP, it should be in your windows\system32\drivers\etc directory, i.e. c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts (that would be the full pathname on a typical one-OS XP installation) in notepad, and paste the following line on the bottom of it:
#DC++
127.0.0.1 dcplusplus.sourceforge.net
That should make it work.
