Default For Those who can't connect

Hi,

I have been reading all the information for the past few days and also trying many of the suggestions. So far, I have not been able to connect to limewire.

Operating system is Windows XP version 5.1.2600 Service pak 2 build 2600
Version of Limewire 4.15 Beta(recently downloaded)
Connection DSL
My ISP is Cox
My security suite is Windows onecare
I am in the San Diego, CA area

I have had Limewire for many years. I recently changed ISP's (cox) then changed back to (Cox) and that is when the problem began. I have lost all of my files and had to redownload LW. The error message I am receiving is:

Limewire was unable to initialize and start. This is usually due to a firewall program that is blocking LW access to the internet or loopback connections to the local machine. Please allow LW access to the internet and restart.

I have removed all Firewalls to ensure the connection but still did not connect. I have also contacted Cox several days ago about the matter and they seem to be ignoring this issue. I have spent many days and nights trying to do everything that has been suggested, still willing to try more suggestions. I would appreciate any help.

Thank you,

Awynterstorm

have alook at this link (LimeWire Pref Folders in Vista) - then go to this link (If Lw will not Connect) read through these working aids/guides as they will help you to re-connect -- they are provided by some very clever people who help out on this forum - if yr problem still persists post yr system details here
