  • One solution may be to uninstall shareaza and do a clean installation
  • If you wish to upgrade your installation then check for a matching path under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Shareaza

For example the TorrentPath key might point to an incorrect location under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Shareaza\Shareaza\Download\
