Vista Ultimate and LimeWire PRO 4.10.0
 

I succesfully installed the latest Java 6 runtimes for Vista, and LimeWire installed without problems as well. But it just won't connect.

This is my PC setup:

Core 2 Duo 2.67GHz (OC'ed 2.99GHz)
Windows Vista Ultimate (32bit)
X-Fi XtremeMusic
Ati X1900XTX
2GB (2*1GB) OCZ dual channel

And I have a direct cable connection to the internet, I have got Windows Firewall enabled but have made Limewire.exe an exception. Can anyone please help me with this? I really prefer LimeWire over other p2p programmes.

Do you have McAfee istalled, if you do take a look at this thread....

Get a new version of LimeWire. Old versions are incompatible and have bugs.

Old versions are not incompatible

Old versions suck... always stay new.

RE:
 

No I do not have McAfee or Norton anti-virus or firewall software installed, I only have the Windows Firewall enabled.

And that Java update is for the v5 runtimes, I have the latest v6 runtimes installed.

As for the version of LimeWire, v10 is still new isn't it?

Do you see a wall in front of the globe ???
Who is your ISP ??
What is the make and model of your modem/router ?
What security do you use ??

Yes there is a wall in front of the globe, but I have excluded Limewire.exe from the Windows FireWall.

My ISP is Telenet (Belgium), I only have the default Windows Vista security settings enabled. And I don't use a router.

Weird, when I right-click on the link for LimeWire (or BitTorrent) and choose 'run as administrator' it does seem to work. Albeit more slowly than otherwise, on XP I get up to Turbocharged speed, in Vista only up to Fair Connection.

But I am logged on as an Administrator, so why won't it work when I simply double-click the application? Maybe the next versions of these programmes need to be further optimised for Vista?

4.12.11 is the latest or 4.13.0. beta you can get them at the link below.
