I've been using LW successfully for two years. Why is there a brick wall in front of the globe now? I don't know. I need this to be fixed. I don't know and don't understand computer jargon (routers, ram, etc.). I download and listen to rock, thats it. I have LW 4.12.6 If there is a newer LW, can I install that without losing my list of songs? I have a Dell 400 XPS, Windows XP, bought 2 years ago. You guys should know this PC. Why was I able to use LW for so long, and not now? Thank you.

There is a newer version, and you can d/load and install it and your files will still be there. Don't know that it'll fix your connection problem, but it won't hurt. Get it here: Lime Wire » Download LimeWire

Your gonna have to do some work on your own. The details I asked you to post are important. Your connection problem could be due to a number of different things, so answering those questions will be really helpful.

Did you try any of the fixes in this thread: Fixes for Limewire.

We don't have esp and I can't reach through my computer screen and into yours.
