I'm sorry. I'm not interested at making my software suppliers angry, and think that it's a good thing that you produce new versions of your software. My real problem is that version 2.9.8 , as far as I can tell, will never run on my computer. One reason may be my firewall, which your progam can be picky about, and another reason may be that I'm still using Windows 98, which I've heard has slipped below the minimum system requirements of your program.
For that reason, I would like to be able to continue to use version 2.8.5 pro. I'm slightly disappointed that I missed my chance to upgrade to 2.8.6 . But as long as I have this computer, I feel that I should be able to use the programs that I obtained for it.
The constant dialog boxes telling me to upgrade interfere with that in as far as I have put my LimeWire shortcut into my Startup folder, to start every time my computer does. The dialog boxes delay the start of LimeWire until I can attend the computer.
However I have found my own practical way around this problem, and should be happy with that for some time to come. I won't explain this solution because in the past other software suppliers have not liked it.
