Hi all, new to the forum today.

Been using Limewire without any problem until I got a bad virus and worm last week and had to format the C: and do a fresh re-install of everything.
Everything is working again EXCEPT Limewire.
Whatever version I download and run, I end up with 2 icons on my desktop. The program seems to have loaded as everything LOOKS normal when running.
I do a search, pick a song and press the Green Download button...and nothing happens. I've disabled my Firewall, no change. I've followed instructions re: creating exceptions..still no downloading.
The only thing different with my PC from before the re-install is that I removed the Soundcard I was using and am now using on-board sound.
Help please. I miss my LimeWire.
Thanks in advance

Hi asriel57,

The downloading problem sounds like the license option. See:
License warning Option.

Also check out this thread: How to find music

Don't know about the double icons. You could try the fixes in this thread: Fixes for Limewire when LW isn't operating as it should!

Hi 6_pac

Thanks for the response, but I'm not even getting as far as the Licensing Question. Everything looks hunky dory File> Connected..everything normal. Search, pick song, Download button......de nada! Like it's dead, like I'm not connected to the internet but without the 'you are not connected' warning.
Had a look in the fixes thread but didn't come across anything that seem appropriate.
I don't give up easy and won't leave it alone until it's fixed.
Thanks again

Sorry, I missed the part about the sound card . Try Lord of the Rings suggestions in this thread: LW loading blank and how i fixed it.

Also if you've changed skins lately, try changing back to the default.
