I have just downloaded limewire pro and have been unable to conect at all. I have sat here, read every post, tried every scenario and to no avail. Due to the obvious lack of knowledge on this problem, I just want to know how to get credited back the money i have paid. This is ridiculous.

Regarding "refund" you might want to read here:
http://www.limewire.org/wiki/index.p...estions#lwpro5

As for your connection problem, if you want us to help you, you should tell us a bit about your specs:
1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98)
2. What firewalls you have?
3. How much ram?
4. Hard Disk space available?
5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.)
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers?
7. Where are you trying to connect from (home, school, work, etc.)?
8. What version of Limewire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version.
9. Who is your isp provider (Internet Service Provider)?
10. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up.
11. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user.
12. Do this simple test for us. Using your browser go here: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ The page should say 'Your test worked!'. What happens when you go there?

Nobody can help you if you don't give any information (I'm sorry, "I am using Win XP" is just not enough)
Tell us exactly what you've tried.
Also give details of your set up... scroll up this page a bit & you'll see the kind of info that's needed.

In the example above it is "false" Does it mean YOUR connection also has a problem? What does the "True/False" really imply?

For previewing vidoe files (including clips) LW usually uses your default meadia player and not the integrated player in LW.
Maybe your default player has an codecs issue......
You could try to use a different media player such as the free VLC player with built-in codecs which can play almost all media files without problems. You can downlaod it from here:
http://www.videolan.org/vlc/
As a side note, to preview files with it you'll have to open the files directly from the Incomplete folder and not via the LW preview function.
