Smile Virus possibly
Hi Birdy,
Thanx for a quick reply. This problem only started after upgrading to Version 4.10.9. I have since then only downloaded Music files and have run a full virus scan which reports as clean. Also checked for Spyware, result clean.
If I revert back to Version 4.9.7 then all works as it should and only connects when I click connect.
If anyone has any further suggestions I would be most gratefull.

Have you tried reinstalling the new version with the offline installer?

You could try deleting the preferences folder

Smile Reinstall
Hi Birdy,
That is an excellent idea as since using Limewire (over 2 years now) I have never uninstalled and reinstalled, I have always just installed a new Version over the top of the old one.
I will first try deleting the Preferences as you suggested to see if that helps. Thanx for the links, will let you know the results.

You should probably do your Java as well, there's a link in Grandpa's post for that. Also, install the Java first. Delete your prefs with LW closed
