Default Can't get LW to connect

I just installed Limewire v4.18.2 on my Windows XP home edtion (SP2) PC. I have an internet connection via Verizion using a D-Link DI-614+ wireless router. Everytime I open limewire the connection indicator stay on one bar and the firewall indicator show a firewall has been dectected. I've checked the Windows firewall setting and limewire is listed as an execption, I even added the listening port to the expection list, with no success... I alos have cybersitter v9.0 installed on this PC, for my kids. I have used older versions of limewire in the past without encountering this probelm... does anyone have any suggestions on what else I can check?!?

Did you have a old version ?? If so do a search using search on xp and find everything limewire and delete it all and do a new install Make sure you download Java 6 first

I had no luck then did that and it worked

If you have XP go to start look for search Do a search in all file and folders for lime wire

After that same place do it for hidden folders

delete all lime wire
