| Ok, this is really frustrating. Now I am connected again. It seems that it takes a good while before it connects. Any idea what could cause the delay? Tanks so much for your help, and sorry about the "back and forth"-thing here.. ^^ |

| OK And as far as the 'back and forthing goes', we have just begun !!! LOL Have a look at this > If LimeWire Will Not Load which you'll find in my signature in the above post. Might as well have a look at some of the others above it in the LimeWire group. Be sure to come back either before you try out the 'fixes' or for sure after ! |
