uh, Im finally about to give up on this, it seems that nothing is going to work . do you guys think it could just be my computer not allowing things like limewire and kaaza through? i have the hp media center edition 2005 if that helps, I dont know what else to do

I too have been having problems albeit not as bad as yours. Mine have been very intermittent (read my posts if you would like a laugh).

I have just been reading your thread and have been nearly brought to tears. Limewire has been sitting there for 2 hours, one bar, brick wall and no connections. I then read about you and someone else talking about exceptions in Xp firewall, particularly UPnP Framework. Mine isnt ticked so i ticked it, changed LW to UPnP in the options, changed the listening port back to 6346, shut it down, opened it up and hey presto 5 green bars, brick wall and excellent speeds.

You may want to try it. Might work. Might not.

Good luck. i will be following your progress.

ya i tried doing a system recovery, and it didnt delete those isps

Incomplete Download File won't delete at all (click on link). This link has some programs listed to help delete files that refuse to delete.
You might want to clean the registry up a bit too: http://www.ccleaner.com/
It will help get rid of files that aren't needed anymore such as old version registry files that are sometimes left behind.

i installed the ccleeaner but it didnt seem to do anytihng to help limewire run

Just hang tight, we have been advised that some security apps have added things to their updates and apparently allowing a p2p app as an exception doesn't make a difference... we are just waiting to hear back from a member on the fix for this...Don't give up hope yet...btw did we tell you how wonderful you have been through all of this, you have the patience of a saint...
