Vuze CommentaryStill the same - Version: 4.3.0.4, 11/21/2009 11:00PM PST

Even though the list of fixes make it seem like it were the bee's knees, it insists on keeping the same bland and useless startup screen.

You may indeed opt out of the Vuze Toolbar. However, when installing the wording it puts up makes you think you're rejecting the EULA, instead of just opting out of the toolbar. Beware.

It still gives you the semi-blank bland and useless startup screen! Anyone know how to reset the thing?

Oh, and it also insists on installing the Vuze Toolbar on your browser, with minimal or no indications on how to opt out. Luckily, have Firefox in high security mode so that killed the highjacking attempt.

The main window just shows up as all gray, I guess I'll keep using 4.2.0.8, and to everyone who keeps saying you don't have a choice to install the toolbar, on the second screen of the installer you can uncheck the box that says "I agree to the terms and want to install the toolbar". Hope that helps and I hope this problem with the main menu is fixed soon.
