Have no folder for Limewire to save to

myharddrivejustgoterased · #1 (**permalink**) March 3rd, 2008

I downloaded Limewire and then I uninstalled it. I saw Limewire still in my file menu and I deleted that. Don't ask me why I did that. Long story...*LOL*

I went to reinstall Limewire and everything went fine but when I tried to start Limewire it said save folder is not valid and folder may be deleted or you do not have permission to write to it. I figured I must have inadvertently delted my saved folder. Is there a way I can get that back?

Thanks.

Fixes for LimeWire
This will kill all of your settings within options, you'll have to go back through afterwards & reset things. If you're not sure of your settings, go through LW's tools > options & write them all down, so that you can reset things later.
LimeWire Pref Folder in Vista

Once you've deleted that prefs folder, the location for saving will revert back to default. If you want to change the location for saving, hopefully it will work now!

If you're using Vista, check the thread here to see about where to set your saved folder (I use XP so I'm not too sure about why things have to be different for Vista).
