I suggested deleting the prefs folder as a precaution. Since his program hung during those periods. Which can potentially stuff up the prefs on "windows". (If they weren't already.) Get a mac man! lol

This all comes from Windows getting so easily virus infested. The morons at Micro$oft actually believe that setting a maximum unchangable limit on TCP connects will actually prevent the rapid spreading of a virus if your computer gets infected.

Running the patch will not in any way make your computer less secure. It may or may not slow down the pace that an allready infected PC will spread a virus.

Especially on Dial-up this will have no effect what-so-ever since the max speed is what 56 kbps ?

On a High speed connection this limit will have almost no effect either

Glad to help Feel free to post any follow-up questions

Wish others would follow your example and describe the problems instead of just writing:

HEEEELP!!!

MY LIMEWIRE STOPPED WORKING. IT WORKED BEFORE

HOW DO I FIX IT

Yes they actually do it like that

Maybe LW should write a prog. that actually worked instead of writing something that 99% of people have to read,read,read and test,test.......
Then we come here and have to put up with your smart a$$ remarks.
Ya Think ?
Half the crap posted here as fixes don't even work on our issues.
Maybe some people aren't as fluent on a p.c. as you are. Einstein.
The way i see it is , you pay for something it should work. You don't buy a new car and have to work on it every day do you ?

@ bdalekid

I don't have time for your childish remarks, so buzz off !!!

KonsTNT (unlike you) has done everything right since joining this forum. Researched, given detail and is I'm sure trying to find a solution himself.

Which mean that I don't mind trying to figure out his problem. While yours, after giving up hope of you actually trying anything that has been suggested, I could not care less about.

Have you really not noticed that your attitude gets you nowhere (well maybe banned eventually). Even the VM's and Mods have given up on you.

And BTW 99% percent have no problem at all using Limewire. Or should that be 99.99%

WTF ??? You big dumba$$, I have tried everything anyone has suggested on here. None of the $hit works. There's over 100,000 posts of problems on here. Are you kidding me ? Sounds to me like LW writes a prog. and wants everyone to test it for them and still wants money for it.
Let's see here. Old LW worked, upgraded to pro and new version and nothing works. Hummmmmm. Kind of a no brainer for ya Einstein ?

no...yur the big dumba§§....you made the mistake of attacking a respected senior member...and now you pay the price...


YUR BANNED!

56kbps? Dunno, I got an DSL connection with a 786.4 connection.....

Something about the Preference folder: It was not hidden, although I got LW version 4.12.6. and I did not find any other folder matching the one I have to delete through searching.. am I ok?

I doubt you need to delete your preference folder.

You said dial-up in your first post

5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.)
DIALUP

DSL is Broadband and this explains the quite likely reason you started getting this error. Did you by any chance start running in UltraPeer mode when those limits were hit

Strange that the preference folder isn't hidden though

...ok, maybe there was a flaw in my description after all....... NO dialup then.......broadband.....already corrected...does anything change now?

And what about the preference folder? Am I good to go? My fingers are itching 2 try LW out....
