Yeah the picture doesn't display and I tried to line up the columns, but no luck.

UPnP service is enabled

Clear port forwards at startup is disabled

Send presentation URL is disabled



Also just so you know, that message:

'LimeWire was unable to initialize and start. This is usually due to a firewall program blocking LimeWire's access to the internet or loopback connections on the local machine. Please allow LimeWire access to the internet and restart LimeWire'

Appears at the startup screen and closes the process so I don't even get in. Thus, I cannot edit options in Limewire.

It might be Java related. Try removing your current version of Java from the add/remove programs section and then download and install the latest version from here(Use the offline installer): http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp

Then d/load and install limewire using the offline installer: http://www.limewire.com/english/content/download.shtml

If still no joy, try deleting the LW preference folder, points 2 & 3 in this thread: Fixes for Limewire when LW isn't operating as it should! Deleting the pref folder will reset the LW options back to the default, so make a note of any changes you've made.

Let us know how you get on.
