Problems with rooihub and ApexDC

I would just like to add to my previous post the different problems that crept up while using the software.

1. Sometimes when you want to open Rooihub this weird error pops up saying something like "Set of local port failed (bind()): No Error", what this means is that Rooihub is open and active.  You should then go have a look in your system tray (it is at the righthand  side bottom of the screen where your clock and time is) and click on the white heart in a red circle icon.  If you do not find it there then you have one of 2 options.
       
          a)  Restart your computer.
                   OR
          b) Press control+alt+delete (at the same time), open or click on the start task manager option.                The task manager will no open.  Under the processes tab you will see a lot of process.  Find the          one with the image name RooiHub.exe or something.  Click on it, then click on end process.                    Click ok on the pop-up message and open rooihub again. (You may close the task manager now)

2.  You open RooiHub and BOOM no chathub or user list available on your righthand side as you are used to and you cannot seem to fix it.  You cannot download anything and only your name is displayed.
There are a few things that might have gone wrong.  Here is a general check list that needs to be correct in order for RooiHub/DC to work:

         a) You have to specify the network that you are connected to as a Home network not a Public one.
         b) Your username may not collide with another and it may not contain invalid characters, it will
             tell you otherwise.

That is about it and remember if all else fails, then re-install or restart, it usually does the trick.  Also explore and play around with things on the computer so you can find out how they work.

Add comments if you had any problems with DC or RooiHub, I would love to hear from you.
