I recently had to reinstall my operating system (MS XP) and lost everthing, including my LimeWire. Now I've reinstalled LimeWire and I cannot get it to work. Of course I cannot figure out why.

I have everything configured the same way and I've followed the instructions in the support section of the LimeWire website to ensure my ports are configured correctly and that a firewall is not blocking my access.

My problem is not that I am unable connect to the network, it is that when I double click on the desktop icon for LimeWire, I see an hourglass for like 2 seconds and then it disappears and nothing happens. It returns to the pointer arrow and my computer sits idle as if I hand't asked it to do anything at all. The progam will not even open to try to connect and I don't know what is supressing it.

I am very frustrated and am at the end of my rope. I miss my LimeWire. If anybody could be of any assistance to me at all, I would greatly appreciate it!
