What's the error you're seeing when you try to open LW?

What security programs are you using? Some antivirus programs will see LW as a threat & remove it... maybe that's why you have to keep reinstalling LW? This thread has an example: Why do I always have to re-download Limewire?

Try adding LW to the list of allowed programs for whatever security programs you're using. If that doesn't help, try temporarily disabling your antispyware & see whether that helps.

Just use the same Limewire and download to a shared directory, then copy whatever you need to your own account.

It should even be possible to share from both accounts at the same time, in which case you can just move files into your own directory, and share from there.

Trying to have two versions of Limewire on the same computer is known to create problems at times... or is it always.
