Hi all. I'm having the issue with Limewire Basic on Vista where it can't create a settings directory. I've followed the guide to the Roaming folder, but there is nothing called Limewire in this folder. I noticed several people have had this problem as well, and couldn't find an answer to help. Has anyone found a reason for the limewire not showing in the roaming folder?

Preference folder in vista is found here

C:\Users\your username\AppData\Roaming\LimeWire ß(Preference Folder)
See the limewire link below for (how to show hidden files in vista) now you should see the LimeWire Folder

I have the hidden folders unhidden, but for some reason when I get to the Roamer folder, there is no Limewire folder. I'm at work right now so I'll check when I get home, maybe shutting down the computer helped and for some magical reason it suddenly shows. Will let you know but I'm not expecting anything different!

if you havent already done it in Limewire Links (below) click on (If LW will not connect) and go through these fixes -- also check out my other links (connection problems) (fixes for limewire) Finally if still no good pse click on (system details) fill in as much as you can and post back here -- also pse tell me what you have done to try and fix yr problem -- "checked this/removed that" isnt very helpful at all.

3. How much ram? 3 gigs
4. Hard Disk space available? 500K
5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.)cable
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers?
7. Where are you trying to connect from? house
8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? Limewire 4.16.6 and latest Java
9. Who is your ISP (Internet Service Provider)? Rogers cable (canada)
10. Do this simple test for us. Using your browser go here: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ says'Your test worked!'....
12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. New problem as soon as I went to vista
13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? _ YES!!!!
14. For those using a modem/router, how is your modem/router set up...are you port forwarding or is UPnP enabled?
15. What security programs are you using (antivirus etc)? adaware / zone alarm / spybot
16. What country are you living in? Canada
So no other LW versions running on other computers?
Go to LW's menu bar, Tools > Options > Advanced > Performance, and disable Ultrapeer and DHT and TLS. Then press apply. Then connect manually. If it connects, then can re-enable those performance options.
To connect manually, click on File > disconnect. Wait 5 minutes, then File > connect. Else, first go to Tools > Options > Connections and disable connect on start up. Then try the File > Connect option.

Since everybody's system is a little different, so the answers to their problems may be different.

ok, my problem is that when I go in and want to change the themes on LW, it says there are none and I need to DL them. No problem, except the windows directions say to put the file in the themes folder of LW... Well, in my version (which I just downloaded from the site yesterday), doesn't have one and I'm lost, all I wanna do is make my LW program not so generic and showing all hidden files did nothing.. what shoulod I do?
