Hoffman,

I am not sure what the 51 items are. I wouldn't just start deleting.

Have you turned of the XP firewall? If not go to Control Panel, Network Connections, Single Click on your connection, in the box at the left select "Change Settings", select the advanced tab and uncheck "protect my computer".

If this does work for you then I would recommend you get a firewall. There are several free ones out there. Zone Alarm is only one of many. You can get it here - http://downloads-zdnet.com.com/ZoneA...ml?tag=lst-0-4

It can be set up to allow Limewire to connect.
