Greetings GooRoo

I had a similar problem yesterday. I deleted the .limewire folder.

When LW started I started having display problems. Similar to many posts here. It would also not connect as a UP. I checked all my settings.

The only setting that had been changed was the iTunes. It reverted back to the default. I disabled (unchecked) the iTunes Share My Music, since I don't presently have iTunes. I clicked apply then okay. I then closed and restarted LW.

When LW restarted not only had my display problem gone away, it also immediately connected as UP. This process took me about 20 minutes. I have been a UP since.

I may have been fortunate this time, as I have closed LW while doing routine maint., and upon restart It has taken several hours to upgrade to UP, which it did automaticaly.

Just thought I would mention this for your info.
