Jason: Look in the thread above yours titled 'another one that can't connect' There is another thread titled 'Vista problems?'. You will find a success story there. Make written notes of the things that worked, or print them out. Keep plugging away. It has taken me four days to solve it. Regards Bryan. PS: It is vital that you clean out any files via the Limewire uninstall program file. Do NOT uninstall via the Windows program.
