Why
did my Participation Level go back to medium when I upgraded
to the latest version of Kazaa and how fast
will I get my normal level back?
Participation Levels are a representation of your recent
sharing pattern and are not accumulated over long periods
of time. They are based on the ratio between your recent
uploads and downloads. If you share files on a regular
basis
your Participation Level will rise again in a short period
of time. Read

If you paid for an unauthorized version of Kazaa by bank or credit card, you may be able to dispute the charges. Please contact your banking institution to determine your options.

How can I uninstall Kazaa?
Kazaa can be uninstalled through the
usual process of going to the ‘START’ menu, selecting 'Control
Panel' and opening the 'Add/Remove Programs' option. Simply
find 'Kazaa' in the list of programs, click
'Change/Remove' and follow the prompts.
When you uninstall Kazaa, the ‘My Shared Folder’ will remain
since it may have files in it that you wish to keep.
In the unlikely event that you have any problems uninstalling
Kazaa, you may have to go into the program files folder (or
where it was installed) and delete it manually. Be careful
that you do not delete the 'My Shared Folder' directory
before copying/moving any files that you have downloaded
or want to keep. The 'My Shared Folder' directory is usually
located on your C drive, in 'Program Files', within the
'Kazaa' directory.

Kazaa used to work for me, and now it doesn't – why?
Some XP users who are not using the latest version of Kazaa, Version , may find they have some compatibility issues if they have installed Service Pack 2. You may not know if you have SP2 installed, so the best thing to do is get the latest version of Kazaa now.
