I am having similar issues with Limewire. I have been a user for quite some time now and tonight, it will not let me connect. It keeps trying but nothing...sigh...I miss you Limewire, please come back to me

Could you both please give your details (april474 - sorry for any repeat questions, at least you tried to give us some details)?

If LW has suddenly stopped working, the first thing to try is: Delete 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 kill 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.

If that doesn't help, get back to us with those system details

clearing the preferences worked for me...my Limewire is back!!!

My music is back into my life Thanks for the help!
