I downloaded Limewire a few monthes ago and downloaded a few things. Everything went good.

But then I downloaded this one thing, and now I can't access the folder where I saved my stuff!

If I try to access it in any way, any way at all, I get an error message saying "Windows Explorer has encountered a problem and need to close." Forcing me to close!

I can't use Limewire anymore either! I even uninstalled it and re-installed it! When it's starting up and it says "Loading user interface..." It just closes without warning!

No viruses or spyware are on my computer either. I scanned it with eAcceleration, the best virus/spyware catcher I know, and nothing comes up!

Someone please assist! It's bugging the hell out of me that there's a folder I have no power over!

Firstly we will try to tackle the folder where this file is..
When the error report appears take down the offending files name, once you have done this Go to Start and then search enter the file in and if it shows up delete it, hopefully after this you will be able to get back into your folder...

If this works, we can then tackle your Limewire...

That's the problem though!

I've tried searching it! But when ever I try to access the folder and the files inside in any way, the same error message pops up! Like search, I used the search option, typed in a word in a file in the folder, and the error message popped up, closing the search down!

"sigh" I'm tired right now. I'll get back to you in the morning.

But yeah, if you could help in any way, any way at all to get that s.o.b. folder out of my computer, I would be so grateful.

I will try my best ... If nothing more comes of this by morning for you take a look at this thread and visit Norbiesworld (the link is at the bottom of the page)....

well wondering why thx for replying...but there is no firewal detected by limewire...in fact i've been able to download only 2 songs since my install.....and well i've tried to download "end of heartache" by killswitch engage for weeks n it's only yestyerday that (thx god!!) ive been able to grab it...why is it so? is it normal or am i really stupid??

Been encountering same problem after d'ling certain files, particularly, avi files. Since windows explorer keeps closing, I simply return to LW shared files folder and delete the file in question there. Problem solved. I originally noticed the problem as I was unable to view a video in the default player (played in fast forward only). So I would use windows explorer shared folder to select a different media player. Cant do that now that windows explorer closes before viewing. Again, simply deleting from LW folder (if that still works) should fix problem. Still looking for a better answer myself to that windows problem.......grrr!

Thats the problem coolkyle342 cant get into LW as it closes down at opening interface and his/her shared folder is freezing as well, so cant delete it from there either....

coolkyle342 may I ask what type of file it was ie movie-program-and such, dont give me the name of the file just what type it was....

I'm 100% positive it was a picture. I was looking for cool desktops. I had no idea it would go this far...

Hi....Because the modname is unknown this may be hard...
I've been looking around Goggle and theres heaps of stuff about this...
Leave it with me, I'm still working on it....
