I was having problems connecting. I would get a message every time I tried to search that said limewire was connecting to the network. EVERY time. I came to this forum and found the thread where it said to delete the preferences folder. I didn't have a preference folder, so I deleted the limewire folder. I uninstalled and re-installed limewire. When I tried to open limewire it opened the setup wizard, but the finish button was grayed out. When I clicked on the next button iot took me to another screen with no next or finish button. No way to complete the process. I've uninstalled and reinstalled 4 times. I've even done a system restore twice. Nothing works.


HELP! please.
