just be patient,from what ive been reading theres an update coming from MS to resollve some issues.

Just as I was about to give up on Limewire I decided to call Gateway. The nice lady a Gateway instructed me to uninstall McAfee because she said that she was seeing a pattern with McAfee creating problems with Vista. So as instructed I uninstalled and lord and behold Limewire works I have a turbo connection. I can search for songs and download them without a problem, and the best part is....it doesn't hijack my internet connection. I can do both at the same time. Imagine that. At any rate, I don't know if this will help anyone else but I just figured I'd share the information that helped me. Good Luck!!!!

This sounds interseting. I would like to try it. McAfee came pre-installed on my PC, so I am not sure I want to uninstall it because I don't know how I can get it back.

Anyone have any ideas?

Sorry I don't know of any other fixes but if it makes you feel better, Gateway told me just running the windows firewall would be plenty and that I didn't really need McAfee. I think it just comes with a free trial that you eventually have to pay for anyway. At any rate, 3 people have replied saying that it works and its hard to tell how many have actually done it and just haven't replied. I tried everything and this is the only way I can get it to work. Its been running perfectly for about 2 days now. It may be worth a shot....

Worked PERFECTLY for me. Thanks!
