Can anyone tell me if limewire or any other p2p sharing program is compatible with vista? Or if you know if and when they will be making a version that is compatible....

The Developers are currently working on it, but in the meantime have a look at this thread and Grandpa's suggestions....

I am having lots of problems with limewire and Vista working together. I can't get anything to work. I only have basic limewire, but that has always been all I needed. Can someone please walk me through the steps I need to take to get limewire up and running????

ok heres the deal just like everyone else i try to use the swarm installer and it dosent work so i get the full installer. start up limewire and its kills the internet connection. I was on here last night browsing and out of nowhere it started to work, 5 bars connection and my internet connection was still workin also... so i downloaded a couple songs and went to bed, woke up and limewire lost the connection and the internet connection got reset also. so i browse some more on here. download the java thing, and double checked that my firewall settings were correct, started limewire up and BOOM nothing still no connection nuthin. I hear that its because of mcaffee, does anyone know what it is in mcafee because i dont really want to uninstall it, or what are some other programs that are free that work just as well.?

Check out the last couple of posts in this thread it has links to free AV's and Spyware Apps...

I have windows Vista and I'm currently having the same problem. I posted a forum about it and was told that it was probably aol.So I was going to try and use my Netscape to see if it would let me download songs but when I did my Netscape wouldn't run. I posted something on their forums and I got the reply that Mcafee sometimes interfers with them too. So I uninstalled my Mcafee...I'm living on the edge.....I'll let you know if this helps me and you could consider it too.Post in a little bit

i unistalled that privacy thing, lime wire still didnt work and now i cant reinstall that back on.

I didn't uninstall a privacy thing...I don't think I just uninstalled evry program with Mcafee...I don't know the privacy thing...ummm..as for trying to reinstall it have you tried going to your recycling box to see if it's still there? I don't know if that will work or if not my post"Beating a dead****connection problems"Someone gave me a link to other anti-virus protections. Maybe it'll be on there.

But please don't follow anything I do until I try it b/c I really don't know if it works yet...and I don't want to mess you up b/c I'm getting desperate
