Hey there. New here to the LW help hotline and wanted to say theres alot of great information in here from people who have obviously had alot of problem solving experience to be able to naviagate through all these tough problems. I myself just got my Hp laptop, dv6000 with vista OS, and am running into a small problem I was wondering if anyone knew a quick solution to. I have LW pro,which i paid for, and iTunes. I have been able to sucessfully download music but when i go to iTunes under the shared option on the left hand side of the window where it shows "johnsons Limewwire Tunes", when i click on it a window pops up saying that that shared library is not compatable with the latest version of iTunes that is out right now< which is the one I am operating with. Does anyone know how i can get my LW and itunes to work together happily and to be compatable again like I use to always have with my last computer before I had vista. Would greatly appretate any help for this 1st time poster.

Wrong topic thread. This thread is about Vista preferences and where to find them & delete them if necessary. :)

See iTunes 7.7 not compatible withLimeWire

Thank you much for the tip. I got rid of iTunes 7.7.1 and downloaded 6.0 off freehippo.com. Unfortunetly the software was bogus and it wiped my iPod clean of all its music. Luckly i used my back up ipod first to make sure nothing bad happened to my 160GB. Only question now is where can i find a ligitamite place to download an older version of itunes so LW will be compatable and I can move on to bigger and better LW questions, solutions and experiences. Thanx again:Smilywais:

If you've tried all of the fixes here (click on blue link): If LW Will Not Connect
then please post back with your system details. That help thread has info about which details we need.

Then click apply to folders. (Attachment #2)

Once that is done the AppData file will show up click on it then choose Roaming. In the window that shows up right click on the LimeWire file and delete it. ( Attachment #3)


Omg, thank you... I've been trying to figure this out for 3 hours. Thought it was my windows firewall, than my mcaffee firewall...

.... Problem only started last Saturday, on a update i'm guessing. I've used limewire for years, and never had problem before.
