have LimeWire PRO, think i've tried most all forum hints

[Stew13]

hi guys (or gals). i have PRO and have tried adding the 2 new ports and uninstall, reinstall process with no success. i haven't yet tried messing with the keys in my registry, 'cuz i'm not that computer savvy so i'm a little leary. free limewire useta work for me until i started using a pirated version of norton corporate, but even after removing that software i can't get PRO to initialize and start. i am now using mcafee enterprise 8.5.0i, but haven't even bothered trying to figure out how to open it's firewall for limewire yet because what's the point. me and my adopted daughter's friends would be VERY greatful if you could help me out of this dilemma.
