Hey you guys I hope I'm not repeating any questions but I am honestly confused and unable to find answers! I am not very computer savvy either...But I'm learning! Okay here goes: I have Windows XP and dial up internet connection. My dell desktop is a dimension 4600. I'm not sure how much space is free though. Recently I took some advice that I found elsewhere in the forum.. But here goes. My mum downloaded LM 4.12.6 I think? Yeah..And it works fine..As long as you are on my brother's desktop and my Mum's AOL screenname. But how can I get LM on the other desktops? I tried going into the search in the start menu...But every LM I've opened through that has been empty. And I've had to set everything like new. I have some songs downloaded already...How can I get the same LM on each desktop? And also...I am having a he**-of-a-time trying to get into the firewall settings of MY aol sn!! I got the okay and I know my mum's password..But when I go into security I get this site called Discover AOL saying I need to download AOL security! Is it possible to use LM on other sn's?I am so confused... These computers are uber confusing...O.o

fixed
 

Totally fixed my program..thanks

Datul Hi.
Sorry let me expand on what Ive said, I understood that you wanted to use 4.0.7 as your everyday app, this would be very hard to keep going, because of
the buildup of vulnerabilities & exploits that spammers have found in older versions of java & L/W.
But if you don't mind having to keep reinstalling then I believe it is possible.
What java version was you using when it worked fine ?
Try going back to JRE 1.5.0.09, PM me if you cant get that installer & I will
get it to you.
JRE 1.5.0.11 would be better,(Less Vulnerable) but not sure it will work, try it!!
Just remember to do a search & delete all other version of java & L/W files before installing again.
After you D/L java, put a copy of it,along with L/W installer in a zip folder for
safe storage.(Don't delete that in search) LOL.
Let us know how you get on Atul G
Vaish, is that same as in "Vaishnava"
Peace.

I see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface

I can't read your mind...That is why I asked you for your details...;)

Hey everyone. i just had to share my good news. i have been one this thread site trying everthing that people were suggesting. it seemed like nothing was helping. I originally had McAfee anti virus. i unistalled all of it because i purchased Norton Internet Security 2007 which is compatable with windows XP and Vista. It still wasn't working once i installed norton. I then thought since i've been doing so many things to try and fix limewire, i'm just going to restore the default settings back to limewire. Well, now it's been working great all day with a turbo-charged connection. Here's what you have to do to restore default settings. hope it works for as many of you as it can.

1. click on the tab tools and open up the options menu.

2.down towards the bottom of that menu there is a button that says "Restore Default". go ahead and click on that and follow and promts. It may ask "are you sure" or what ever.

3. then completely close out limewire and make sure it isn't still running in the bottom right hand corner of your desktop. if you're not sure if it's still running or not you can restart your computer which will for sure close it down.

4. then reopen limewire and it will promt you to set up your settings again.

once i completed step 4 it located all my music and opened up and went right to turbocharged connection and has been there all day.

You're my kind of person Birdy...
 

HeHe, thanx alot! Can't believe all it was, was that older ".limewire" folder that you said to delete. Then after deletion, ofcourse like you said, I checked my "Application Data folder" to see the "LimeWire folder" that was suppose to be there THERE! I mean after reading :newspaper: and reading countless threads on the matter, and carefully choosing which action to take. Easy enough all it really took was deleting that folder. I'm much thankful, grateful... YOU NAME IT I am that. Thanks for all your assistance in my download angst, I bow to your apparent superior LW knowledge :aweof: . You're AWESOME, so go ahead & pat yourself on the back there Birdy. Seriously, standing ovation for you there :xirokrotima: . You deserve it, you've yet helped another poor "I Can't Get My Limewire To Work" soul. Now I'm off to maraude the highspeed downloading pleasures of my LW :w00t: . I'm obviously having too much fun with these smileys too, hehe THANKS AGAIN :Smilywais:

It's that easy people... well in some cases :laugh_2: .
locate & delete .limewire folder found here....
Windows:
C:/Documents And Settings/your_username/.limewire
