Still nothin. I even added a port for LimeWire through McAfee.

Did you try uninstalling the three parts of McAfee that cause these problems...

I don't know how, that link didn't specify that information and I have a question. If I uninstall McAfee how will my computer stay clean of viruses?

This is what one member said he had to do and it has also worked for many others...

tried a lot of things regards mc afee, vista and LW. The only solution to keep you antivirus and run Lime wire without problems is:

1.- go to control panel
2.- uninstall programs
3.- select mc afee
4.- uninstall firewall, privacy service and spam killer
5.- restart you computer and you'll be able to conect to internet and use Lime Wire at the same time as well as you internet explorer.

I had to call mc afee to figure this out cuz was been a pain in the a.... this problem and this is the only solution that they have for now until they fix those compatibility problems with vista, mc afee and LW.

Hope this work for you folks!!!

So it's only the Firewall the Spam killer and the Privacy Service...

The AntiVirus will not be affected...

Make sure you now enable your windows firewall and configure it to let limewire through....
Your email box should take care of the Spam if you configure that correctly...
So all should be fine...
