I have XP on my old Computer and when I deleted in C:/Documents And Settings/your_username/.limewire and restarted Limewire it worked like a charm.

However I still can not get it to work on my new computer that uses Vista. Anyone with Vista been able to get it up and running? I've uninstalled and installed it a bunch of times and still no luck. I even went one by one to delete folders and nothing.

You will find it here:-

C:\Users\your username\AppData\Roaming\LimeWire


You must show all hidden files

I've tried dumping everything several times and downloading again. It seems to work up until I get the message that there's a corrupted download or internal error. I don't have the security turned on and have uploaded the latest Java. I'm lost. HELP!
