It Worked For me But
i Got rid of the folder with limewire running.

Well Yeah I Think The School Network Is The Prob...They Set Up Controls.....

Maybe it is because the sharing indicator is constantly on red and I have one file being shared that Limewire does not work. I can type in a file name to search for and enter - but nothing happens. I have not attempted to use limewire for weeks because of this problem. I am using Windows XP HE, and cannot see a preferences directory to delete in my docs and settings folder. Unless I find a solution I can never use limewire again.

Well Im Using Xp Right Now And I Have No More Problems...I Had A Hard Time Locating That File....But Mangaged To Find It And Delete It And Now Im Back In Business...HaHa
I Went To Documents And Settings
Then I Went To The Username Which Is Robert In My Case And Deleted The .Limewire Folder...Then I Took Off Auto Load In The Lime Wire Prefrences...And Just Click On The Desktop Icon To Load...Works Everytime For Me Now....

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.

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!
