Then click apply to folders. (Attachment #2)

Preference Folder (otherwise known as LimeWire Folder)

Vista users look here
C:\Users\your\username\Appdata\Roaming\LimeWire

If you have shown all hidden files you will see your appdata folder

I just wanted to say thank you to Grandpa for the help! I had problems getting connected to LimeWire for the past few weeks, and your above suggestion worked. Now, I can connect just as well as I did before. Thanks again!

grandpa you bomb that worked

Thanks this helped a lot. =D

Im officially about 5 minutes away from throwing my laptop across the room at an innocent unsuspecting wall. i have vista. it worked. it worked well. then the connection went from 5 bars to 4, and down from there over a period of weeks. i would buy limewire pro in the hope that theyll fix the problem for me, but i dont see the point if the connection problem cant be fixed.

Pro will NOT fix connection problems. If it will not connect properly with LW Basic, Pro will not help. I see this is your first post chloriform07. :) Perhaps you can go to the Connection Problems - Gnutella Forums section of forums & create a new thread & give these details: System details - help us to help you (click on blue link) & explain your problem. :)

Remember to try these options: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/connec...t-connect.html as sometimes one or a combination of these suggestions works. ;)

Sweet five bar rapture

its cool, i figured out the problem. its an installation error in the newer versions. had to go through and delete the hidden limewire folder in the roaming file and then reinstall it using the launch icon. took me a couple........ months, but im back in buisness and posted an explanation for vista users. Ty bro.
