Make a note of your LW settings & then close LW & delete your LW Preferences folder; instructions here: Fixes for Limewire

You'll need to configure your firewalls as in here: http://www.limewire.com/english/content/firewalls.shtml to give LW full access.

Go to LW's menu Tools>Options>Advanced>Firewalls & select UPnP & press the Apply button.

Very important to update your Java!!!!! (yours is out of date!): http://www.limewire.com/english/cont...radejava.shtml
