Default can't get sound before downloading

i previously had limewire where i could preview and play the songs before downloading. i let someone use my computer, they cleared out everything without my approval and i lost limewire. when i reinstalled it, i seem to not have the ability to listen to the music, only to download. i wish to listen first, and would like to know what to do to get that option back. thanks

Limewire has never had the ability to be able to listen to or view a file before downloading ????

You can preview a song whilst it is downloading after a certain %...

I'm a little confused as to what you actually mean....

Sounds to me you are only picking up fake files....Give these tips a try and see how you get on...

Go to Tools > Options > Searching > Lisence Warning and make sure the box is not ticked and select apply...

If that does not help try going to your Connections Tab in limewire, if it's not showing up go to Veiw > Show/Hide and make sure the connection tab has a tick next to it...
Then click on the Hosts and remove them and let Limewire search for some more...
(try to take note of the hosts IP numbers if the same ones keep re-appearing add them to your host filter...)

Tools > Options > Filters and select the Host Filter and add these IP's into it and select apply...

Try installing PeerGuardian, it will help keep the fake hosts out...Remember to enable PG just before you start limewire up...
Phoenix Labs » PeerGuardian 2

If you're using Vista, there's this PG2 Beta available for Vista users.
PeerGuadian 2 for Windows Vista beta released - Phoenix Labs

PeerGuardian 2:Manual - Phoenix Labs Wiki


Another thing if you are using limewire 4.13 and later you can apply this hostile list...This will block known fake IP addresses...
