Default Security Settings

Hi, I recently tried to download the basic version of Limeware to a Windows Vista operating system and kept getting the message: "Your current security settings will not allow this download". Does anyone know how to lower the security settings enough to allow this download? Thank you!

Hi, I'm having a similar problem. You might want to try going into your 'firewall' settings and making sure that Limrewire is an 'exception'. I did that, as it was all that the error message asked me to do, but still I can't even open Limewire. Maybe that's all you need to do though.

Welcome to the Gnutella forums!

You're spot on regarding elegantuni's problem.
As to your problem, I'll pass along this from Lord of the Rings:

First of all, make sure that you're only using one software firewall & that LW has been allowed access, or made an exception.

Turn OFF your firewall.... download, install and follow prompts.

Turn off your firewall isn't a long term solution. This is only meant for the moment you install Limewire.. and not even then is it a recommended option.

The firewall is there for a reason.
