@ Cam86aro,

See: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/genera...der-vista.html

@ 1992blazer,

You need to set your folder options to "Show hidden files and folders". From your desktop, go to Start>Control Panel>Appearance and Themes>Folder Options, then click on "View" and tick by "Show hidden files and folders", click "Apply".
Then follow the instructions here: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/window...ng-should.html

I'm glad to see that the technique is working for some users. Though it is very surprising that the fix is not as general purpose as I thought it would be.
The first time I tried it I could not connect. That time I cut everything from the folder and pasted it into another folder. The second time I deleted the folder and opened Limewire and then I was able to connect. I don't know why it worked but it did.

Default still can't search

I have tried all of the suggestions. I have searched for .limewire and there doesn't seem to be a file for that. I did search hidden files also. I also deleted the hosts but limewire has not put new ones up. What to do???

Actually the same thing happened to me. The next time my folder was missing. I ended up uninstalling Limewire, then reinstalling it and then it worked well.
