I finally had to give up on using "Pro" because it never worked for me on my G4/1ghz/MacOS 10.4.9.

However, I removed all the Pro stuff and downloaded the latest version of the free standard Limewire and it works with no problems!! Seems to work just as fast as well.

Try this -- it fixed my problem and others I have helped on this forum:-

[1] Uninstall the old version of LW before installing the new -- delete the old LW folders from the Programs directory before installing the new version
[2] Ensure that you have java script J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 (Jre ver 5) if not download from here:-

Archive: Download Java 2 Platform Standard Edition (J2SE) 5.0 Update 11

Of course if you haven't got an older version of Limewire loaded just leave para [1] out and do para [2]

please let us know -- Thanx

Bi 4 now

I am not a first time user and have been using LW for quite some time with no problems. Now I am unable to connect for some reason. Can you help me?

Windows:
C:/Documents And Settings/your_username/.limewire

Linux:
~/.limewire

Please shutdown any instance of LimeWire you may have running, delete the whole directory, and then restart LimeWire. You should be able to connect.

I'd love to hear how this works for everyone.

Thanks!

I guess this might work if there was such a directory. However, I'm running Vista Ultimate Crap and I can find no such directory. I've tried everything to get Limewire to work and no luck. I even removed my Virus software which was Zone Alarm Internet Security Suite. I contacted ZA about this and they had me do several things, none of which worked. I still cannot connect. So this seems like a Limewire and Vista problem but how do I solve it?

Try this http://www.gnutellaforums.com/genera...der-vista.html

The location for all newer windows users has changed. Vista's location is a tad different again.
Also have a look in the Vista section of the LW section of forums.

Tried what you said. Still don't work. That is, I can't find that directory anywhere. I'm so fed up with this Limewire crap I'm about to pull my hair out. I'm gonna give it one or two more tries and if that don't work Limewire is gone. Oh yeah, I even changed my Virus/Firewall to AVG and I still can't connect.
