could someone please advise me a fix to this problem

Hi try this fix :-
[1] you must show hidden files - click on limewire link below (how to show hidden files in windows vista)
[2] now look for the Limewire Folder - you will find it here:-
C:\Users\your username\AppData\Roaming\LimeWire
[3] Ensure that limewire is completely off (check that it isn't in the system tray-bottom right-if it is click on it and select exit)
now open the .limewire folder and look for and delete the gnutella.net file (see image below)
If you dont find a gnutella.net file in yr Limewire Folder dont panic just go to para [4] and cont thru to [6]

[4] download a new version from (here) and save it to yr desktop
[5 Drag the new gnutella.net file from your desktop into the limewire folder.
[6] Close the LW Folder and start up Limewire

If this doesn't fix yr problem:-
Go to Limewire links (below) click on (if LW will not connect) and go through these fixes -- if yr problem still remains after this click on (System details) fill in as much as you can and post here
