save directory not valid???
 

Attempts to download songs brings up error message "save directory is invalid..." Prompts me to choose another one, but doesn't accept any new choice. Error window won't even close unless I shut down the computer.

Been using Lime for awhile, never had this problem before. Recently upgraded to Windows Player 9 and Lime 2.8.6 and things were great for about a week.:confused:

same problem
 

I am having this same problem. I also just upgraded to windows media player 9 and now limewire dosent recognize the shared file I have been using for a few weeks now, with 100+ succesful downloads. I created a new file for downloads and it worked for a little while until I moved all my files from the original file to the new one, now limewire dosent resognize either. if I try to set the shared file I get the error message "invalid directory for saving files"

What am I doing wrong???

file issue solved
 

After spending hours reading post here on the forum I found the solution that worked for me, once I was able to get into lime wire by creating a new download folder. I used windows explorer to find and delete my origional shared folder (after I had moved all my files out!), after deleting the old folder I then recreated it and went to lime wire and set the newly recreated folder as my download folder, I also made sure that read only was not checked for this folder. I downloaded a few songs and all seems to be back to normal.:D

The new folder I had to create to get into lime wire, to get past the error message, once the above was working, I just deleted it.

I then transfered all my shared files back into the newly recreated shared folder.

And even though no one will admit it I think it was the media player 9 download that started this mess for me.:mad:

Thanks for all the info on the forums, I also found some things to block to prevent viruses:D
