OS X:
/Users/your_username/Library/Preferences/LimeWire

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!

Long-time user, first post. I did as these directions suggest, and it worked. This was the first major meltdown I've had with it in a couple of years, but nice to know it was solved by using this solution.

Deleting the Folder absolutely worked for me.

For my 2nd question: where do you type in "C:/Documents And Settings/your_username/.limewire"?

I don't remember having a user name.

Thank you.

sometimes if you dont assign a username the computer does it automatically -- for example if you have a HP Computer yr username could be :- (Win XP SP2)

C:/Documents and Settings/HP_Owner/.limewire
or
C:/Documents and Settings/HP_Owner/application data/LimeWire

Cool Wow!! Who else suddenly cannot get on the network ?
I have been using Limewire for years noe suddenly, well a month ago this Firewall appears one computer cannot access the other one still getting downloads even with the brick wall image. Now !! 2 days ago cannot access at all.

1.8 GHz PCs 2 GB free hard drive space. Switched Windows Firewall off - no use still no access. Modem is Arris, router site com. It was the wireless conncted PC that kept on working.

I cannot live without Limewire. Please help.

Yours,

Default Do I delete everything in the .limewire folder???
I don't see anything that is marked as "preferences" or anything close to to that in the .limewire folder so I don't know what to delete. Can you help? I have not been able to connect to Limewire for 2 days!

no you wont see anything marked as preference folder -- but what they are talking about is the "Limewire" Folder -- just delete the limewire folder --
if your problem remains in Limewire Links (below) click on (If LW will not connect) and go through these fixes -- if it still remains click on (system details) fill in as much as you can and post back here.
