I honestly don't think any of these fixes help. I was trying some of these "fixes" on my laptop and it totally destroyed my laptop. It won't even boot up anymore.
I think that Limewire needs to fix their program.
I had limewire for years and never had a problem until this year. Now I can't connect (other than the one green bar like everyone else). I didn't change anything. One computer I tried it on had no Nortons and my windows firewall wasn't even on. I don't think it has anything to do with that. I hope that Limewire will be fixed someday. I really liked it.
But for now I would suggest people do what I'm doing if you want to get music...just buy an itunes card and pay .99 cents for the song, because obviously Limewire "fixes" aren't helping much.
I'm not trying to be a mean person I'm just trying to say be careful while trying to fix the computer and that I honestly think that something else is going on with Limewire.
I just can't see all these people losing connection for no reason.
