I can't find mine either.

I cant find the prefrences folder could it be named something else?

You might not have a folder named .limewire...that was the location of the prefs folder in much older versions of LW. The new location is C:\Documents and Settings\your usename\Application Data\LimeWire.

The Application Data folder's hidden by default, so you'll have to show hidden files & folders to ba able to see it.

Try the advice in this thread...there's a bit of info about finding the prefs folder, plus another fix to try if that doesn't work.

I found and deleted the folder and it still hasnt fixed the problem yet but i still only have one green conecting bar so maybe i just need to wait?

Reboot your computer & then give LW 10 minutes to settle down & connect. If it doesn't connect, try the other advice in the thread that I linked to in my post a few minutes ago (post #1288).

pleas help!!!! i jhave installed limewire basic, and i cant seem to get it going! what am i doing wrong?

deleted the .limewire folder...no help on vista.

Amazing to think the answer in the first post of this thread actually worked for me, and that was 4 years ago!! i couldn't connect to Limewire and had tried everything, opening the ports in my firewall etc.

Then to find out that all i had to do is delete the preferences directory is crazy lol the only thing different to the first post is that the 'limewire' folder is located here for me: C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\

Anyway, thanks alot for that

i can't find my application folder. i followed your directions but it doesn't seem to be there. i noticed someone else with win xp had no luck either. are there any other solutions. what if i uninstalled lm totally and then reinstalled it.

dont think that would work but you can try it.

There should be an application data folder somewhere on your computer though. Try turning the "show hidden files and folders" option on and then follow my directions. If that doesn't work do a search of your computer for "Application Data"
