The first thing you have to do is find the folder that your music is in. It sounds like you don't know where it is. Well, it's probably in the Program Files under Limewire. Or, you can search for one of your songs with Windows Search Assistent, and look at where it's at. (If you don't know computers very well, you'll probably have to go into "My Computer" - "Local Disk" - "Program Files" - "Limewire" - "?" I don't know because I always have my music go to another hard drive.

After that, you'll have a couple options. You can burn them to DVD or CD if you have a burner, or find an old hard drive from an old computer somewhere, and install it or ask somebody to install it. I suggest just buying an 80 gig hard drive designated for music and other media. You could also put the songs on a zip drive, depending on the amount of space it has.

Note: If the virus is not letting you find the files, try going into safe mode (restart the computer, and press F8 when the Black Windows screen comes up)

Then, when you reload everything onto a freshly restored computer, make sure the music is in a distinguished folder somewhere, I suggest the desktop. Then after you reinstall Limewire, go under Tools - Options - Saving, and you can change the library folder from there. You may have to rescan the folder in Limewire.
