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

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

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.

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!
