Try uninstalling both LW & ZA, then reinstall LW first. After that, reinstall ZA. This has worked for a few Vista users...see post #6 of this thread Can't connect using Vista.

Post back with your results please.

Well I uninstalled Limewire and Zone Alarm and then reinstalled Limewire. It connected fine and I downloaded a few things. I then reinstalled Zone Alarm and Limewire couldn't connect past the first bar. I had program control on for Zone Alarm so programs had to ask permission and I gave full permission to Limewire to access the internet.

Any ideas? Any other firewalls I should try? I'm certainly not married to Zone Alarm.
