trouble starting LW?
 
I was having trouble starting LW also, sometimes I could connect and other times it would take days. I tried the delete directory too and that didn't seem to work, tried it several times with disabling tips and auto start....finally I just reinstalled the entire thing and clicked repair on the install wizard, then tried starting it again after deleting the directory and task bar, and it worked. I gues it's trial and error but the reinstall might work for you too!:D :D :D

I have the same problem with my computer connecting on a 56k modem. The high speed/bandwith conection runs fine. The computer with the 56k modem will not "search" if I have two or more downloads going at once (the light turns red but downloads keep downloading). Can anyone confirm this? Is everyone having this problem using a 56k modem?

I am also using 56K modem, while I can attempt to download more than 3 songs and still be able to search, the cownloads do not "take", I continuously get "need more sources" on all downloads after the first connection, so I go the slow way and do it one at a time.......cable modem hurry !! HAHA:(
At least now I can connect......

Yeah!
 
Thanks so much, Susheel! It finally works. I'm in XP Home, and I found and deleted the .limewire file, and it didn't work at first, until I exited from the icon in the tray in the bottom right corner. Then I started back up, and the light went green for the first time in weeks!

Thanks for listening to us!

I think the key is to make sure you remove the icon in the task panel on the lower right corner, as you delete the other stuff. Now I do not have any problems starting LW, it initializes perfectly upon startup. Cool!:D ;) :p

I also am running XP and deleting the .limewire folder worked perfectly. I went ahead and uninstalled and reinstalled also. Hope everyone else gets their's working too.

Thanks,
DH
