When I start LimeWire, the signal strength meter indicates that there is no internet connection even though there is. LimeWire is set for full internet & server permissions in ZoneAlarm. Also, LimeWire doesn't completely load. At the bottom, it says [i]Loading Internationalization Support...[/b] and it won't go past that. If anyone knows how to resolve this problem please let me know.

Is your WIndows firewall turned off? Make sure it is, otherwise it will clash with the other firewall resulting in less security & unpredictable results.

Check the top of this section: General Vista Support - Gnutella Forums
If LW is not loading properly then it may be a java & preferences issue, possibly also LW compatibility setting.

Westell devices in my experience are best port forwarded.

Thank you. It helps somewhat. LimeWire is saying there is an internet connection, but only one of its five indicator lights are lit. Also, for some reason it changed my color scheme from Windows Aero to Windows Vista Basic. Can someone please help me with that?

i am having problems keeping limewire open in a browser screen. when the progream becomes open it shuts down within seconds if i do not klick on one of its tabs. and it seems to shut down by itself even in the middle of a downloading session? any thoughts

marnieey, the only thing I can think of that would do that is malicious software. Run a spyware and virus scan and see if anything comes up.

Does anyone know why LimeWire changed my color scheme to Windows Vista Basic and why it won't fully connect to the network?

i have had limewire running now for 5 hours still sayin currently connectingive done all ive even deleted lime wire re installed but nothing

im run my system on
windows xp
ram 1.5 g
hard disc space available 232gb
im on lan
isp virgin (they say all ports open)


my son have lime wire and is runnin

This has to have something to do with either LimeWire's servers, or the update. I hope they fix this problem soon.

im preety sure limewire doesnt have servers other then the website and the forums. as its p2p . its my guess as lack of interest of outside coders its hard to find problems that they dont have

That can't be it. If you go to LimeWire Forums - Powered by vBulletin (the old forums) it says in the top right corner that there are over 2,000,000 hosts online. That's more then enough. This has to be a problem with the update.

yes but if i uninstall zone alarm then my limewire works.....this sucks....what now?
