Did you fully uninstall your old version before installing the new version -- if not do that now -- In Limewire Links (below) click on (system details) fill in and post back here

Hi Caty,

After you deleted your LW preferences folder, did you have to go through LW's setup wizard all over again? Did you make sure that LW was completely closed before you deleted the prefs folder & deleted/replaced your gnutella.net file?

Go & find your gnutella.net file, hover your cursor over the file - how big is the file?

After you changed things within LW's tools > options (eg listening port, performance options) did you make sure to click Apply to save the change?

Did you try both updating to the latest Java & reverting to the older 5.0_11 version?

If you really have tried everything If LW Will Not Connect then we'll need your system details in order to help you more
