Thanks for your reply. I do not have vista, just regular Windows xp with a HP. When I downloaded lw I did get all the folders & etc. but when you went to the icon, nothing would happen. The only icon I got was the round circle on the desktop.
I did go to my security & allow lw as well as gnutella.
I checked my security, firewalls. I went to a sticky & followed directions there and followed the steps. There was a test & that came out okay. I have CA security & tried to allow lw but maybe I didn't enter it in correctly. You need a https: and it has to be an "s" after the http for a secure site. Not sure if you can just add them or not. ?
I also downloaded the lated Java that was reccomended. I also downloaded the crap cleaner (worked great!).
There was one box in ? security setting (drop down type) & lw was checked in the box.
Not sure what else to do here. I have deleted everything now. Is there another site that is easier to download for music? This is very frustrating.
Thanks

If downloaded correctly there should be 2 icons on your desktop. One will say Limewire with the green icon and the version the other will just say lime wire. Go to "My Computer" and check on C drive if this is your main hard drive then double click on Program Files-Limewire should be in there like this: "C:\Program Files\LimeWire\LimeWire.exe" if it is not there then or course you will have to download again. Contact me on Yahoo messenger as user misty_blue_seas and we can IM and see what happens. The 2nd icon on your desktop should just be the shortcut, but if both are not there then will download again. Are you using the free download version? There is also Itunes but they charge 99 cents a song I believe. Let me know

I have 2 icons! Now what do I do? I right click on them & nothing happens. I am getting closer now. Thanks!
