Yes, I did the "dling" thing, like I said. I did the drag and drop, I followed all the instructions. I still can't connect anymore. From all the past posts about this it appears there is a major problem. Can I download an older version of LimeWire since this new one is no good to me? Or are there other solutions? Like I said, I'm VERY frustrated with LimeWire at this point.

Try totally deleting anything with the name "Lime" in it off of your harddrive and then reinstalling.
