Ok using a pc before I connecte as soon as I opend LW, there are 3 different account on the pc my account it set as Admin. I have notice that if I log on to the other accounts they work perfectly the connect right away to LW. Help what can I do????

Try right-clicking the actual LW program (not the shortcut), and choose run as admin. Option is listed in first post here: Fixes for Limewire (click on blue link). I presume that will not affect the other accounts. If it does you may need to install a separate version for yourself.
