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!

Limewacko

that worked. thank you limewacko.

flogging molly here i come.

I have Windows XP

here are the steps that I took:

1: Go to Start Menu ( lower left corner)

2: Go to My Computer

3: Click on Local Disk C:

4: Click on folder - Documents and Settings

5: Click on you User Name (example: Chris)

6: Delete (.limewire) folder

Then restart limewire......it works for me.

OMG! That worked for me for mac osx. Thank you limewhacko. All I did was disable connect at startup, quit then re-opened and manually connected. SWEET!!!

When you guys try to connect, do you see the round icon in the lower left flash green for a second and then go back to red?

We know of one potential cause of this problem that we've implemented a fix for, but we're not at all certain that this is the cause of all issues users are seeing. I suspect there may be a couple of different things occuring.

If everyone could post their operating system when they post problems, that would be very helpful. Most have been, but just a reminder. It looks like this is a problem users are having on all OSes.

Thanks for everyone's patience.

Thanx!!!

Deleting the .limewire directory in C:\Documents and Settings\<username> worked like a charm...ever since I purchased the Pro version I could not connect...Zenzele was no help at all I'm sorry to say...even stopped replying to my requests. That you for this tip!

I have been away for 5 months. I come back and upgrade and decide to buy Pro. Works the first day. Next day no connection. Windows ME. THIS SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This one worked for me. I'm up and running with no problem. Thanks!
