Datul Hi.
Sorry let me expand on what Ive said, I understood that you wanted to use 4.0.7 as your everyday app, this would be very hard to keep going, because of
the buildup of vulnerabilities & exploits that spammers have found in older versions of java & L/W.
But if you don't mind having to keep reinstalling then I believe it is possible.
What java version was you using when it worked fine ?
Try going back to JRE 1.5.0.09, PM me if you cant get that installer & I will
get it to you.
JRE 1.5.0.11 would be better,(Less Vulnerable) but not sure it will work, try it!!
Just remember to do a search & delete all other version of java & L/W files before installing again.
After you D/L java, put a copy of it,along with L/W installer in a zip folder for
safe storage.(Don't delete that in search) LOL.
Let us know how you get on Atul G
Vaish, is that same as in "Vaishnava"
Peace.

Hey everyone. i just had to share my good news. i have been one this thread site trying everthing that people were suggesting. it seemed like nothing was helping. I originally had McAfee anti virus. i unistalled all of it because i purchased Norton Internet Security 2007 which is compatable with windows XP and Vista. It still wasn't working once i installed norton. I then thought since i've been doing so many things to try and fix limewire, i'm just going to restore the default settings back to limewire. Well, now it's been working great all day with a turbo-charged connection. Here's what you have to do to restore default settings. hope it works for as many of you as it can.

1. click on the tab tools and open up the options menu.

2.down towards the bottom of that menu there is a button that says "Restore Default". go ahead and click on that and follow and promts. It may ask "are you sure" or what ever.

3. then completely close out limewire and make sure it isn't still running in the bottom right hand corner of your desktop. if you're not sure if it's still running or not you can restart your computer which will for sure close it down.

4. then reopen limewire and it will promt you to set up your settings again.

once i completed step 4 it located all my music and opened up and went right to turbocharged connection and has been there all day.

Hi kadeer
System details - help us to help you Please.

Cut n paste these just the Questions,put your answers in bold text Thank You.

Recently there's been a problem with people not providing enough details about their setup - despite being asked again & again.
So let's make it easy for everyone...the details that we need if we're going to be able to help with complex problems are:

1. what OS version? (eg: Windows 98, XP,OSX, Vista)
2. What firewalls you have ?
3. How much ram ?
4. Hard Disk space available ?
5. Connection type (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) ?
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers ?
7. Where are you trying to connect from (house, appartment complex, school, student accomodation, work, etc.) ?
8. What version,LimeWire & Java,Go to L/W's Help/About L/W, THIS show both LW & Java version.?
9. Who is your ISP provider (Internet Service Provider) ?
10. Do this test click here: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ should say 'Your test worked!. What happens ?
11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up.
12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user.?
13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface ?
14. Have you given full permisions for LimeWire to pass through your Firewall ?
15. XP users, Please state XP firewall on or off.?

These are all contained within the sticky Connection problems? Check here first!
but possibly some people are getting a bit confused or lost when we direct them to this sticky & ask them to provide their details.

This information can be vital
For instance, some ISPs are known for blocking p2p/throttling bandwidth,
some connection devices are known for being unreliable in certain situations.

So please, help us to help you & provide as much info as you can.
If you're new to LW or new to computers & aren't sure how to answer some questions,
or don't know what an ISP or router is - just say so. Nobody's going to yell at you:wink:
Even if you can't answer all the questions in one go...don't worry. Do the best you can & we'll take it from there.

Has that fixed your problem.

P.S.... There is no version of L/W, 14.12.11 or 14.13
I think you mean 4.12.11 or 4.13.
Peace.
