Hi I tried the media email but as Im mainly having technical problems installing getting freenet to work, I was advised by Ian to use this email instead.
I am looking to do an independent review/experience of freenet in a blog, however Ive tried to install it but its failed. Ive tried it recently on a windows 7 system which didnt work (I thought possibly because of kaspersky and windows 7 64 bit) and also today tried it on vista a 32bit system with webroot essentials and with firefox private browsing permanently checked. Firstly after installing it my security package webroot essentials picked it up as a suspect program and put in quarantine. I later restored the 3 freenet programs/app which were in there,and tried start freenet and open freenet, but I got 'searching for freenet.exe or browse for it' and then I tried to run the correct freenet file in the folder but I got java virtual machine launcher and 'a java exception has occurred'. I tried two others I thought might be correct but it still didnt work. I then tried the 127.0.0.1:8888 instructions and firefox couldnt find anything and that didnt work either. No system tray icon has appeared (or rabbit icon applet) either. I just wanted to see what this is all about (I heard about it on an talk radio station) and then get the hell out if I dont like the look of it, but it looks like its going to be difficult to get it to work/run at all. Can you help/advise me here as to what Im doing wrong or as to why this isnt installing or running properly?. Im not an advanced computer user (maybe intermediate just about) Thanks Jon -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
