For some reason I cannot access any of the items I have downloaded. This has never been an issue before, I have limewire Pro now and the same thing is happening, My limewire shows I have a firewall but I don't know where it is coming from. Any suggestions??

For fast & easy access, go to your LW Library window, select Saved Files folder & press the Explore button. Sample image here: Using Library Explore button to access downld folder (click on link) & the folder will open up for you.

If you still can't access it, then close LW down & try again.

As for firewall issue, we need more information; System details - help us to help you (click on blue link)

Thanks for that however i tried that before and again this time with your instruction and all it lists is the first 25 saved not the hundreds more that are missing. I've rebooted the computer and checked firewalls but I can't get to my list. Even the new stuff that I download won't show. Basically My library is a blank screen. Any other suggestions??

Try deleting your LW Preferences folder whilst LW is closed; instructions here: Point #2 & 3 in Fixes for Limewire (sample image included at bottom of page.)

If you are using Java 1.6, remove it & all other versions & re-install Java 1.5; Java 1.5 (take the JRE)
