Pleeeease HELP, I am new and can't connect anymore

[newbs]

Hi all,

I would really appreciate any help you could give me. I have been running the basic latest limewire version and limewire pro (downloaded from limewire of course) without a hitch for at least 2 years. A few days ago my downloads suddenly slowed down and then I couldn't connect (one bar only). I uninstalled and downloaded the basic version and reinstalled that. Still no luck. I even tried System restore, that made no difference!
I am running XP SP2, AOL 9.0 (yes, never had problems with that), Windows Firewall off, McAfee firewall on ( it has always worked around limewire). I have tried to configure the port (as per limewire help pages) and set all firewalls to off. NOTHING has made a difference!!!
I am not aware of making any changes to my PC that might affect limewire. All I did the day things slowed down, was do a routine disc cleanup.
Previously when I connected the firewall symbol would disappear after a second or so, now it stays on.
Am at my wits end, please help!
Regards,
newbs
