I followed the links to update my LM from 4.9.1 to the new 4.9.2
I installed the update and now I have lost, with the exception of one folder, all my downloads? I followed the instructions. I've done this many times. Fortunately, I saved most of the downloads in musicmatch, but there were a few I didn't get transfered.
Once the installation finished, all but the few I mentioned, disappeared and my LM returned to the LM edition of skin.
Now too, my version of limewire still says 4.9.1.
What happened?
Please help!!!!

Yikes!! That's too bad. Before I upgraded to 4.9.27 I was told to make copies of all the folders, along with the files that I share just in case I lost them during the installation process. What has happened to you has happened to me when I first installed LimeWire. From what I've heard, when files are deleted in LimeWire they are permenantly gone but if you are lucky enough to find them, let me know where they ended up!

Now I have another question! When I downloaded LM for the first time, I had "no" difficulties running the program or with any other technical problem. Since I updated, my computer is having issues with locking up and jet lag ( that's what I call it when I push a button and 3 minutes later it responds). What could be the problem there?
I've come to grips with the fact that I lost some of my data, but this jet lag is really getting to me!
Thanks for the info.

In your 1st problem, are you sure you installed LW into the same account? Or did you change the downld location? I made the mistake of installing into a different account & all my incompletes had disappeared. It took me a couple of weeks to realise my mistake. doh

For your 2nd problem with jet lag, try deleting your LW Preferences folder whilst LW is closed; instructions here: Fixes for Limewire

why do you... advertise your topics now... just use the search button right near the f.a.q button

you seriously believe most of the people use the search and faq? they're more likely to hit the stickys. look at all the firewall threads

I've not upgraded but I've also lost all of the downloads that were sitting in the shared directory and have no idea why. They are not in the recycled bin either.
