The firewalls never fixed my problem so I got rid of all the limewire folders and re-installed. Problem solved. :)

Did the same... cleared up my problems... wish I hadn't trashed my Pro App!

will we lose everything? I am just trying to get more green bars so I am not that desparate. Thanks.

Did you lose all of your old files from the install?

Only way you'd lose your old files from an installation is if you use your program folder as a download folder. Which is totally silly & thoughtless to choose or allow such a location. ;) If that was the case, then move those folders out. Install the new version, choose or create a folder in your user account documents area & close LW, then replace the new download & incomplete folder with the old ones. :)

LW has always worked until now, i've disconnected my antivirus firewall and it still has an image with a brick wall in front of it, and it wont go past one bar, i've tried disconnecting and reconnecting as well

I'm using Windows XP. Checked widows firewall and made sure LW was listed as an exception the followed the above and no joy.
I am running AVG 8.0 as well.

Getting Limewire Started
 

Everytime I try to start Limewire nothing happens. Limewire is downloaded on my computer, its not running at all, my Java is up to date, my firewall allows it, and I just updated everything on my computer. What is the problem?

No idea. We have no information about your set up. So not sure anybody could guess.

We do sometimes simply ignore posts like yours, since it was obvious you didn't read the forum rules. The forum rules were listed on the forum page even before you registered here & again before your first post. And received other links to them between then & the time of your first post.

This worked a treat for me - happy XP user :xirokrotima:
