What version of LW are you both using at the moment ??

Newest
 

I'm using the newest one upgraded from the version before that which also did the same thing (same problem)

The last time that happened i just updated LW and it worked for awhile

When you deleted the preference folders, did you delete both the .limewire and the LimeWire folders ??

Yes

Ok...Could you post your details please, there maybe something there that is causing this to happen...
