<p>I installed bitcoin-qt and my wallet was all synced, everything working as it should. I sighed up for slush's pool and was trying to connect the 2 and I think I may have clicked the box to run SOCKS proxy (if I am remembering right)  Now my wallet will not show up on my desktop and when I click the icon I get 2 errors:</p>

<ol>
<li>Unable to bind to 0.0.0.0:8333 on this computer. Bitcoin is probably already running.</li>
<li>Failed to listen on any port. Use -listen=0 if you want this.</li>
</ol>

<p>I am running Fedora 18.  I tried to uninstall/reinstall and ended up with the same issue, i'm assuming I did not uninstall ALL of the initial package/program.  </p>

<p>Can someone help PLEASE!!</p>

<p>Thank you!!</p>

I installed bitcoin-qt and my wallet was all synced, everything working as it should. I sighed up for slush's pool and was trying to connect the 2 and I think I may have clicked the box to run SOCKS proxy (if I am remembering right) Now my wallet will not show up on my desktop and when I click the icon I get 2 errors:

1. Unable to bind to 0.0.0.0:8333 on this computer. Bitcoin is probably already running.
2. Failed to listen on any port. Use -listen=0 if you want this.

I am running Fedora 18. I tried to uninstall/reinstall and ended up with the same issue, i'm assuming I did not uninstall ALL of the initial package/program.

Can someone help PLEASE!!

Thank you!!
