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%

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....

Well, sleepless, it seems LimeWire does not like me so much....

I did not work, although I followed your instructions. The only difference now is that I dont get Tcpip warning messages anymore on Edit Viewer when the error occurs, apart from that the problem remain the same.

I stopped wondering about what could cause the error, cause I dont got a clue, but I stumbled upon LimeWire in the "Add or remove Programs"-window and it says its size is 1.284,00 MB big (!). Is that possible? Maybe it has something to do with the whole thing (Sherlok Holmes style....)?

I'll have to ask someone about this. I've never before heard of this problem and that TCP IP thing is really bugging me.

I'll be back

hi, sorry to have to ask this by replying to another question; i can't seem to figure out how to post a thread. my question is: i keep installing limewire on my dads computer, but everytime i start it up, it makes everything on the screen HUGE. any other program that is running gets magnified also. when i close limewire, everything reverts back to normal. i have tried numerous times to do this, and everytime i get the same result. does anyone have any suggestion? thanks

@martman40

This most likely due to a graphics card issue. Try to go to the Operating System specific help forum and look through the most common issues Sticky Threads. I'm guessing Windows here. The most likely source of the problem is either a Graphics card or RAM issues

Where you choose the forum press Technical Support, and then the forum that has your operating system.

There is general Windows support, General Mac Support etc.

In regards to posting a new thread. In case you don't find the answer then in all forums where it is possible to make a new thread you will Se this:

Remember to (unlike bdalekid) to give the necessary info when posting a new thread. Like in the very first thread here, only more related to the video hardware and software your computer has. Don't be afraid to even include things that at first glance will seem unnecessary. You should rather give too much info than too little info.

Also include Java version (you can see it if you in Limewire press Tools and then about limewire) or in add/remove programs. Can be the source of the problem although highly unlikely.

Don't worry, By the time you get LW running you will be a pro at making new threads. Problem threads.
