:welcomeani: to the Gnutella Forums Dave666.

The LW Media Player isn't very good and has kinda been put on the back burner so to speak.
I would recommend trying an alternitive Media Player to see if that helps.

VLC Media is a nice one to try. See Link

CODECs list for Movies/Audio/ Alternate players / Video help forums/ video-mp3 fixers

If you want to continue too try and use the LW Player, Go to Tools > Options > Player, and make sure the "Use LW Media Player" Box is Checked.

Did you try to Preview the Files while D/Ling ?? You may have found yourself some Fake or Corrupt Files which are Very Common on the GN. This Link may help.

Welcome Everybody!

I used to use the Limewire media player but from one day to another it stop working. I already check the box as Remoc suggest but nothing happened.

Options like launch and enqueue don't work as well.

Can someone tell me where the problem is?

Thanks

As Remoc's already said, the LW player is pretty awful.

But if you really like it & don't want to use another player, try deleting LW's preferences folder when LW's properly closed. See point 3 here & also point 2 if you've used older versions of LW in the past (there could be a folder in either location).
Fixes for LimeWire
This will change all of your settings within options, you'll have to go back through afterwards & reset things. If you're not sure of your settings, go through LW's tools > options & write them all down, so that you can reset things later.
In case you're using Vista: LimeWire Pref Folder in Vista

If that doesn't help, I'd suggest using another player:)
