I am having issues witht his service
Sharing Folders attempts to sync the files and flashes their names i
the progress bar and 0% for progress. This happens continually, as i
seems to cycle through the files

This happens on two separtate computers, to one contact in particular
Things were working great until about the second week of july
The contact at that point began using a new laptop
Some files sync'd over, and then around July 14th, is when the 0% thin
began to happen

Both of us are able to share with other contacts, and in fact, m
contact can add files to the sharing folder which get sync'd to m
computer as well. However, nothing seems to go FROM my computer t
theirs

I have attempted the solution of rebulilding the sharing folder b
deleting the folder, and then turning sharing folders off then on, an
then putting the files back into the sharing folder
my contact has removed our sharing folder completely, so when she sign
in next, it should ask her to share files with me, and we shall see wha
happens then

my home computer is XP sp3, my laptop is XP sp2, and her laptop is x
sp2
Both my computers experience the 0% issue and both computers ca
recieve files she adds
Send files within a chat works fine

Is there anything else I can try

Greetings DLG,

The rebuild that you've done will probably fix this.
