New Install of LW connection problems

ibizavaio · #1 (**permalink**) August 6th, 2007

Hi i was using limewire beta version 4.13 with no problems and now i just download 4.14.2 and it wont even connect to the network. I am using windows vista ultimate (32bit) i have 1G Ram core duo processor with each core at 1.66, my firewall program is zonealarm (witch i have allowed liwewire from it) my internet connection is dsl (from a usb modem)... Oh and i just checked the running processes on the task manager and it has 3 processes of limewire running even though i have shut done the program(Its not running minimized and its not on the toolbar at the notification area next to the clock) So can someone plz tell me why the beta version 4.13 had no problems and now 4.14.2 wont even connect to the network? I have included a picture that shows 3 processes of limewire running even though the program has been closed. P.S. i dont have a virus just in case anyone thinks this is why its happening, because i just formated my pc and re-installed windows. Oh and my version of java is 6 update 2(only this version is capable with vista). Someone plz help. thanks

Select the End Process for each of those limewire.exe's and then start Limewire back up again...
If it does it again, end it again and leave it closed, then delete your preference folder..

Once you have found the folder follow the steps on deleting the LimeWire folder...

Well i tried to stop the processes but with no luck.... i had to restart my pc.... they wouldnt end not even with unlocker... i deleted the pref folder but again limewire wont connect... what else could the problem be?

Hmmm, very strange...
Can you check something for me...Have a look in the incomplete folder in your limewire library and tell me if you see a limewirewin.exe...
