Question My wife can connect, but I can't

My wife installed LimeWire a while ago. We share the same computer. She is able to connect and download files, but I am not. When I start LimeWire, it just sits there doing nothing. If I mouse-over the five bars in the lower left-hand corner, it says that it's connecting to the network, but it never does. I've left it up for 5-10 minutes and it still does not connect.

If I log in under my wife's profile and start LimeWire, it connects in about a minute. I know something is wrong with my profile, but I can't find anything different. We are both Windows Administrators on the machine. We have the same Windows Firewall ports open.

Where should I look to begin the troubleshooting process?
