Default Help
I have windows Vista with Limewire Pro and I have tried everything to get this to work and I still can't get it to work. If anyone can help please let me know. I tried contacting Limewire but they were as useless as a monkeys butt. And no refunds at all.

Help Help

Steps:

1) Launch Limewire. See the new "Tips" dialog box? DISABLE the show-tips-at-launch checkbox. Then click "ok" and hope you never see that box again.

2) Go to LimeWire Preferences and disable the auto-connect at launch option.

3) Quit Limewire. Then relaunch Limewire. Then manually "connect" from the menu. Voila!

I surmise that the new Tips box is interfering with the application's ability to connect!

Bingo! I found the solution to my LimeWire bad connectivity problem which was stopping any items being downloaded.

1. Close LimeWire and also remove any LimeWire icons that may be sitting in your Taskbar.

2. Go to your Program Files and delete the entire folder that's named LimeWire. Don't open it up - just delete the whole thing.

3. Click open your LimeWire shortcut icon that's on your desktop.

That's it. Worked for me.
