Frostwire won't connect

Hey Everybody,

I use Frostwire's P2P software, and now that I got a new computer with vista it doesn't seem to want to connect to the frostwire server, it did a first but now it doesnt, I'm guessing somehow the firewall is blocking the connections? But it doesnt give me any options to go ahead and allow it, can any one please help me?

Fix found by others having same problem:

Quote:
Do a right click and choose "Properties" then run it as "Administrator" and also run it for "Windows XP SP2" and it should work fine.

well, if you dont connect...

If you are on your desk top, and you double click and frostwire doesn't load, you either dont have java runtime, loaded or there is an error in the java runtime. Uninstall java runtime and reinstall java, this should take care of the problem.
