I'm new at LW paid to have unlimted access and I can only get 1 bar. Systems says that I'm connected, but nothing happens. I have read other threads to try to fix the problem and getting no where. I do not know what to do. I have been on the internet all day trying to figure out what to do. I need simple instructions becaus I'm new at LW. Your help is greatly appreicated.

I have windows XP
Trend Mirco for firewalll- which I have LW unblocked
I have LW 4.18
java 1.6.0.70

Thanks

If LW Will Not Connect

If nothing there helps, please post back with all of your system details (see above thread for the details that we need).

'unlimited access' sounds like you may have bought LW from a scam site. The only official site for downloading either LW basic (free) or Pro ($21.95 or $34.95) is Lime Wire » Download LimeWire

Another suggestion is to close LW, install FrostWire & if it connects, then close it down, and redownload lime wire i had the same problem for weeks and i downloaded frostwire and it connected and then deleted frost wire and redownloaded lime wire and it works like a champ,good luck,Doug
