Ok there's quiet a few things to do here....So get ready for a really long reply...:D

Firstly do this...
Try uninstalling all versions of Java from the add/remove programs and then re-install the JRE 5.11 offline version....
Archive: Download Java 2 Platform Standard Edition (J2SE) 5.0 Update 11

Then make sure you uninstalled limewire before the correct way...If you did this Start > all programs > limewire/uninstaller...that is the correct way...
But if you uninstalled using the add/remove programs you will now have to do this...
Use your computer's search to look for all files & folders with limewire in the name. If you can't delete them, reboot into safe mode & then try. If they still won't delete, try one of the tools here...
Incomplete Download File won't delete at all.

Now even though you have ZoneAlarm disabled it has been noted that Vista users need to uninstall Limewire, then uninstall ZA, then re-install limewire and then reinstall ZA...In that order (Don't ask why it works, it just does ;)) So do that...


Now go with that and see if you can get connected, with your router are you sure it's a tdk110, I didn't see any info for that model (if you turn the router upside down it will tell you...;))

Oh and one last thing Virgin are known to block p2p apps at certain times of the day they call it their peak time...:o

thanks dude, i think is working now, i tryed deleting the files, at first they wouldn't go but whe i restarted, they dissapeared

as for zone alarm i uninstalled, but now i cannot install it.

dunno if i can safely work with just symantec antivirus or i need zone alarm??

let me know

cheers, very helpful mate

Maybe you might have to do a full computer search for ZoneAlarm and delete anything that may of been left behind...Then try re-installing it...

Do you know if your symantec antivirus has firewall capabilities ?? If it hasn't and you want extra protection from using a firewall besides the one that comes with Vista, and you can't get ZA to work let me know and I will ask around about another firewall for you...;)
