please help ive used limewire for years n all of the sudden it just stopped working. ive had this new vista comp for months now n limewire has always worked until yesterday. thanks for the help

ps not that great wit vista yet so pictures or detail would be nice

I, too am having problems. Using Limewire on Vista Home Premium for months, no problem till now. Pretty much all the same as "gopitt32": Firewall allowing Limewire, 3GB Ram, upwards of 350 GB of space. It opens, says it's connected, but nothing comes when I do a search, AT ALL.
Very, very frustrating. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

gopitt32,

Using 2 software firewalls together can cause problems. It's better to choose 1 firewall, configure it to allow LW & turn the other firewall off.
Try deleting LW's preferences folder when LW's properly closed (make sure it is closed). I don't have Vista, but this thread has info & screenshots to help with finding the preferences folder.

This will change all of your settings within LW's options, you'll have to go back through afterwards & reset things. If you're not sure of your LW settings, go to LW's tools > options & write things down first.

Remember that you have to show hidden files & folders before you can delete the preferences folder;)


NYPRBLUEZ,

Try all of these fixes (see above for deleting LW's preferences folder).
1. In LW go tools > options > searching > basic & check whether the 'show license warning' box is ticked. If it does, untick it > Apply > ok...see if that makes any difference.

2. Problems with the search

3. Delete LW's preferences folder when LW's properly closed.

hey nyprbluez
i fixed my problem
i had to go in n change the gnetella.net thingy in a folder
i cant remember how to do it or nethin but im pretty just its a common post on how to do it.

I don't get it - some days it works, some days it doesn't. Yesterday it did, today it doesn't.
Will try all of the above again.
Really appreciate the support, though - thanks.
