When I tried opening it is said browse or cancel. I tried searching for Application Data and Limewire and I still couldn't find the folder. I don't think I have it.

Did you make sure that you had hidden files & folders showing?? Go to Control Panel, double click on Folder Options. Now click on the View tab. Put a dot in the circle next to 'show hidden files & folders', then click on Apply & click on OK.

Go to My computer. Double click C drive. Now you should see a folder Documents and Settings - double click that. Now you should see a folder named your username (whatever your username is on the computer) - double click that. Now you should see Application Data - double click that. And now you should see a folder named LimeWire - that's the one to delete.

Ok I was able to find the folder and I deleted it and when I tried to get into limewire it asked for my language and where I'd like to save my files to and after I did all that I still didn't have a connection and I looked in the App Data folder again and the limewire folder was back in there.

That's ok. After you delete the preferences folder a new one will be created! If you have to go through all that setup stuff again, it means that you deleted the folder properly
Try closing LW & restarting your computer. then start LW & see if it connects.

If not, go back to the thread I first linked to in post #2 & try replacing the gnutella.net file.

Read the thread carefully & follow the instructions there (there are screenshots to help).

Deleting the preferences folder has fixed this problem for a lot of people, but replcing the gnutella.net file has worked for others. Just give it a try.
