can connect cant connect
 

Hi, This is my first post so bear with me. I am unable to connect to limewire. I have windows xp, i connect to the internet thro cable thats connected thro router upstairs that i do not have access too. I have zonealarm for a firewall but everything seems to be accepted there. I titled this can connect cant connect because i can connect to limewire with my g/f user account on windows. i have both accounts setup as administrator accounts. ive tried alot of the suggestions ive read on here but nothing has worked. I've never had a program work on one user account and not the other unless i specify it. at first i thought it might be something with the router upstairs but if i can connect on her user account then there must be something wrong with mine. any suggestions would great:)

Hi lol yknow i looked thro the stickies and thought i had tried everything but apparently i had deleted the wrong folder. It was the folder in the application data that needed to be deleted. i appreciate your response and i am connected again

just outta curiosity i lost all the songs that was in limewire... i have them on itunes but i was wondering if for some reason there not backed up to a player is there a way to retrieve them?

Go to your shared folder outside of limewire, to find this folder you need to select a file from your LW library and hit explore....

You should be directed to where your downloaded files are stored...;)
