Im on vista, just keeps sayin limewire is curretly connecting but it doesnt, i presume because of the brick wall in front of the globe, the signal bar is low on the bottom right.
I have 25gb left of memory, firewalls are zone alarm & windows defender, which lw is allowed on both, connection is broadband, im using lw 4.18 & my isp is virgin media.......hope this info help
