C:/Documents And Settings/your_username/.limewire

i don't have this file on my computer. i have windows 98. what do i do? i have the same problem as alot of people. just flashes green for a second.

it connected fine until my whole internet disconnected like it likes to do alot.

Got it working!
 

Here what I did...

First, the "delete-the-pref-folder" advice did nothing for me.

Steps:

1) Launch Limewire. See the new "Tips" dialog box? DISABLE the show-tips-at-launch checkbox. Then click "ok" and hope you never see that box again.

2) Go to LimeWire Preferences and disable the auto-connect at launch option.

3) Quit Limewire. Then relaunch Limewire. Then manually "connect" from the menu. Voila!

I surmise that the new Tips box is interfering with the application's ability to connect!

Limewacko

that worked. thank you limewacko.

flogging molly here i come.

I have Windows XP

here are the steps that I took:

1: Go to Start Menu ( lower left corner)

2: Go to My Computer

3: Click on Local Disk C:

4: Click on folder - Documents and Settings

5: Click on you User Name (example: Chris)

6: Delete (.limewire) folder

Then restart limewire......it works for me.

OMG! That worked for me for mac osx. Thank you limewhacko. All I did was disable connect at startup, quit then re-opened and manually connected. SWEET!!!

When you guys try to connect, do you see the round icon in the lower left flash green for a second and then go back to red?

We know of one potential cause of this problem that we've implemented a fix for, but we're not at all certain that this is the cause of all issues users are seeing. I suspect there may be a couple of different things occuring.

If everyone could post their operating system when they post problems, that would be very helpful. Most have been, but just a reminder. It looks like this is a problem users are having on all OSes.

Thanks for everyone's patience.

Got Connected
 

Thanx!!!:D

Deleting the .limewire directory in C:\Documents and Settings\<username> worked like a charm...ever since I purchased the Pro version I could not connect...Zenzele was no help at all I'm sorry to say...even stopped replying to my requests. That you for this tip!

I have been away for 5 months. I come back and upgrade and decide to buy Pro. Works the first day. Next day no connection. Windows ME. THIS SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
