OMG!!! Skyliner!! You are amazing!! ahahah I have been trying to get my LW to work now for almost 7 hours!!!! And I've read almost all of the posts leading up to page 98 and NOTHING helped until your post (#1461)!!! All I did was go to the first link that you have in your sig and was planning on going through everything that is on that page but all I needed to do was just replace my gnutella.net file!!!!!! Thanks sooo much!!! And a little advice to everyone...try one of those things that is listed on Skyliners first link. Also, I know one other time when LW wasn't working for me the un-checking the tips pop up thing worked :)

Thanks for your feedback -- E N J O Y

susheel fix
 

Dude!!!!!!
I was about to give up. I printed (screen shot) of Susheel's fix and followed it to the letter. I'm back in business. Thanks!!

Thanks so much, this worked for me! :super:

BUT, at least on my XP machine, the above path is a bit off- for me the Limewire folder was in C:/Documents And Settings/your_username/Application Data. Sorry if this has already been noted.

I ended up deleting closing Limewire, deleting it AND the folder and re-installing Limewire. Now I'm a downloading fool! Thanks for the tip!!

Hi,
I am having trouble, not opening limewire, but downloading. The note that pops up says that I am connected but not fully connected. I have deleted limewire completely and re-instated but still no joy. The five lines on the bottom of the screen are brown but on my other laptop they show green?????
What do you think?

Can't connect!?! Serious Help Needed!?!
 

In Limewire Links (below) click on (If LW will not connect) and go through these fixes -- also this link (Fixes for LW when LW isn't operating as it should) if yr problem still remains click on (system details)fill in and post back here

Thanks so much for the solution to my problem. Your suggestion worked for me and I was able to connect immediately. I'm glad there are those out there willing to help those of us with less knowlwdge. Thanks again!

JoeCar:aweof::xirokrotima::yahoo::super:

This just worked for me too! Thanks so much! I had tried everything else and had just about given up hope of ever using Limewire again! :super:

i fixed my problem last night(6/3/08) by going to my network places and doing something that i found on a forum. But today i am still not able to connect, but i could last night. any help here?

Spot on Limewacko, thanks so much

done that sir. not working on vista:(

Is Limewire Vista x64 compatible. I can't connect and have removed the preferences files.

Thank you so much!!! this worked!! :yahoo::super:

I believe it is yes. If LW was not compatible you wouldn't even be able to open the program. If you can't connect then it must be a different reason. What we need to help you is this: System details - help us to help you (click on blue link) :) (we can't help without those details.) ;)

Re Lime Wire Connections
 

Hi Lime Wacko,where Do I Find "preferencing,can You Provide Me With A Idiots Guide To Your Solution As Im New To This.thanks.

How do you completely delete the directory?

it worked
 

im using windows and it worked perfectly for me

This worked great for me, and im using Mac OS X 10.4.11
Remember to remove it from your dock first!
thanks so much :)

Try deleting your LW Preferences folder whilst LW is closed; instructions here: Point #2 & 3 in Fixes for Limewire (sample image included at bottom of page.)

What does that mean??? i don't get it at all!! i have a windows xp but what do i do with the given url?? do i go to run? or Search? or What??? i need it step by step please!!!!!

still can't connect
 

I did a search folder for limewire and got about thirty files. which ones do i need and which ones do i delete? I just upgraded to pro because i could -n't connect and now i still cant.:blink:I also tried to stop the auto start and tips off but that won't help. I also turned off my fire wall still won't work

I tried the fix and it didn't work. It just re-makes the folder when you restart LimeWire. I cannot get a connection at all. I disabled the firewall and still have had no luck.

using windows. Doesnt work...

worked for me.:yahoo:

How do you delete the directory's? please

Sorry, I have xp and highspeed internet and I just ordered the download for limewire.

how do i write the C:/Documents And Settings/your_username/.limewire
its the last bit i dont get.if my user name was say:ColinT,How would i type the whole thing Thanks.

windows 98
 

Didn't work for me. Everytime I do a search I get a message that says "Limewire is currently connecting to the network. Your search may not return many results until after you are fully connected to the network."

Please!! Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

I am amazed despite how many times this link gets flashed before people's eyes, they ignore it: System details - help us to help you (click on blue link), as we can't help much without these details (speaking generally.)

Windows 98 is starting to become limited. The newest version Java is no longer supported for 98.

Try deleting your LW Preferences folder whilst LW is closed; instructions here: Point #2 & 3 in Fixes for Limewire (sample image included at bottom of page.) or for VISTA see http://www.gnutellaforums.com/genera...der-vista.html

If you started using LW after March 2006 then the preferences folder will be called Limewire, _ not .limewire

The versions of LW before 4.10 had their preferences folder called .limewire & those users who updated would still have the folder with same name unless they deleted their preferences folder at some point after this. ;)

how do i access the prefrences folder on windows vista??

Please don't waste out time in future & do some reading. O.o :rolleyes: The answer was in the post above your post.
