Ok guys. I've completely uninstalled all of MacAfee. I've made sure windows firewall isn't blocking limewire. I've even entered exceptions for the gnutella port numbers of my choice. I've tried using several different port numbers. I'm running the current version of Java and limewire still doesn't work. HELP PLEASE |
i was having the same problems. i just bought a new computer with vista and i reconnected the old one cause of lime wire trouble. i tried everything in #49 and it worked. no problems at all.:xirokrotima: |
Big Prob I Got a new computer with windows vista and the internet. I have trend pc-cillin, but have turned off ALL things blocking LW. i have the problem where when i try searching for things it states that it is not fully connected to the network. it never does connct. I dont have McAfee or anything. Please help!:shoot: |

who ever discovered uninstalling the spam killer and the privacy service on the mc a fee security deal for vista thank you thank you thank you i am finally up and running after countless hours of trying everything else... you were a lw saver, now even my teen age son thinks i am cool thanks a bunch!!!!!!! |
pattycake12345...A couple of things to try... Firstly go to File (in limewire window) and make sure your connected there, if it is try disconnect and then connect.... If no success try deleting your preference folder...The instructions are in this thread - point 2 onwards... Fixes for Limewire |
also, i can't seem to find the preferences file in vista (even though hidden files are all being shown) |
Try the steps in this link and see if you can find it that way....I don't use Vista so I'm not to sure where exactly it will be...;) http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tuto...torial130.html |
