Well... there seems to be a pattern here. get rid of Mcafee and it works!

I am a bit concerned, however, that people are more interested in downloading stuff and not about virus protection.

Well.. good luck to everyone!

There is no need to run without Virus protection You can install Avast Antivirus it works fine with Vista and LimeWire. Avast is free and you can get it at the link below. Avast is among the top rated Antiviruses

Great suggestion. Thanks.

:bangh: :bangh: :bangh: I am about to go nuts!! I have tryed everything and can not get limewire or 360 share pro to work at all. I have a new computer with Vista premium preinstalled , AMD x64 dual core, AVG free anti virus, I disabled windows defender, reinstalled Java se runtime environment for vista, allowed limewire and 360 share pro through windows firewall. When I click on limewire I get the splash screen then nothing. When I click on 360 share I get nothing at all. Please Help. I'm lost without my limewire!!:confused: :confused: :confused:

Try un-installing all versions of Java and reinstalling Java6 using the offline installer then install LimeWire.

Help!
 

I tried uninstallin the privacy thing o whatever and limewire still dosnt connect and takes my internet, how can i reinstall the security back on to my comp?

uninstall of McAfee worked for me

I just wanted to say that the Uninstall of McAfee worked for me! I had a brand new Toshiba Satellite notebook that came with Windows Vista Premium installed and Frostwire wouldn't work at all for me with the same symptoms (blocking / locking down / hijacking the Internet connection). Removing McAfee removes the problem!

I put the fix on my Vista Review site so hopefully we can help others.

Also - to anyone that reads this, I'm trying to log a list of software that no longer works in Windows Vista on my forum, so if you know of any other P2P related file sharing software (or any kind of software) that doesn't work in Windows Vista since you upgraded - please let us know!!

Thanks! The more info we collect, the more people we can help get their software working again - or help decide whether or not to make the crazy jump by upgrading to Vista!

Do I have to remove the whole thing? I've already removed the firewall n the privacy protection n still doesnt work... I really dont want to remove the anti virus, and if I do have to remove the whole thing what r the best alternatives?
