I hope that covers it. This is really just an idiot check: I've scanned through the various FAQs and tried various fixes, but my symptoms don't check out properly.

I recently had a hard drive infection and had to run a clean install of Windows XP. I remembered, however, to save LimeWire to disk, and I installed it as soon as the computer was up and running again.

Since I reinstalled, I haven't been able to get a consistent connection--and just a week ago, before the hard drive problems, I was connecting at "Turbo" regularly. I haven't been able to get a connection all afternoon, but this morning I made it all the way up to "Good."

I'm sure this is just some setup oversight on my part, but I'd appreciate any technical help you could offer. I lost my entire file library in the crash, and as a result I'm starting over.

Thanks,
RR
