JonSnow is flying high
Default All files are non playable

I have amost 1000 (atleast) music files on limewire, yesterday I tried to download a game, but when i did, all of my files, music, video etc. became zipped (the little folder with the zipper) and they all were moved to the program part of the library. I tried unzipping them, but after I do and click on the unzipped file, I just get a blank screen.

I managed to get them all unzipped, and with the windows media player symbol infront of them, but they are all in red and when I try to play them I get this message:

"LimeWire will not launch the specified file for security reasons"

All files are in the "Program" folder, even though none of them are programs, there all audio or video.

A few songs that I downloaded after the thing went screwy worked at first, but now after I have restarted limewire, they too are unplayable.

Ive tried refeshing and restarting,

Anyone have any ideas? Im totally like this
