princess318,

The current version of LW works with Vista. The problem most people are having is is that LW won't work with Mcafee on Vista. So if you have McAfee installed on your pc, you'll need to uninstall it for LW to work. Replace it with AVG free Or try what LeeLee80 did:Then d/load and install Java 6, the one called (Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6u1) using the offline installer http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp

Then d/load and install LW using the offline installer: http://www.limewire.com/english/content/download.shtml

Go to start>Control Panel>Programs and Features and uninstall the services that are creating the problem. Or completely uninstall McAfee and install Avast.

Later Grandpa

I then configured my router for both port forwarding and upnp forwarding the globe disappeared and I got a turbo connection. I then did a search for a large file and started Downloading a file 200 MB file within 2 minutes I had 10 connections and I am currently downloading the file at 150 KB/s 50% done in 7 minutes so LimeWire works fine with Vista

how did you do that last part?

I just bought a new laptop with Vista on it. I had to use the offline installer on Limewire's site to get it to download, it would get stuck right after the download began normally. My problem is that it will not connect to the network, and my internet quits working as well yet I have all my bars on the wireless connection....What can I do?
edit: i'll go back through all the previous posts, I just zipped to the end to post..sorry.

Check and see if you have the lisence warning ticked...
Go to Tools > options > Searcing > Lisence Warning and make sure the box is not ticked and select apply...
