I no longer am able to find new downloaded songs from limewire to my Media player; they arent transferring over there for some reason. I went to "search" on my "start" and it shows numerous files, that when opened say one or more of these files may be invalid. this may be due to a corrupted installation. etc. also i keep getting my Norton Alert saying "worm protection" has detected a remote system is attempting to access your computer" and asks me to Allow or Block. Either way the Warning keeps popping up! below is the message I get when I try to open a "executable jar file"

Hi theputz,

You're saving songs to C:\Program Files\Limewire?? That's a bad idea...if you uninstall LW then your songs are gone. The default saving location is C:\Documents and Settings\your username\Shared...that's a safer option. In LW tools > options > saving & change your saved folder back to that default location.

If that doesn't work, delete LW's preferences folder when LW's properly closed. See point 3 here & also point 2 if you've used older versions of LW in the past (there could be a folder in either location).
Fixes for LimeWire
This will kill all of your settings within options, you'll have to go back through afterwards & reset things. If you're not sure of your settings, go through LW's tools > options & write them all down, so that you can reset things later.

Once you have a better saved folder location, see it things transfer to your media player properly again.

Re the Norton internet worm protection popup, see if this helps: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/218895-post6.html

THANKS BIRDY~ THAT INFO REALLY HELPED, it is working fine now. But is there any way to get the songs that I have stored in Limewire files to MediaPlayer?
APPRECIATE ANY HELP - THANK YOU.

Have a look at the link below for info about transferring files to WMP
Windows Media Player 10 Guide: Adding Songs to Your Library and Burning CDs

birdy...I went to open limewire today, and everything was gone! I am so so u(u kno, freaked out) all that downloading etc and it uninstalled itself?? I had to download/open it to find it even - usually it auto loads on startup. In my "programs to add/remove" it says limewire is 230.00 mbs. but there is nothing in the library etc. My media player (wmp) has not received any new downloads from the "C:\Documents and Settings\your username\Shared" after I made it as you told me to and then I downloaded some of my favorites again. WHAT the heck happened?
also i had Limewire pro at one time and how do i get it back? they say you only pay one time. HELP
Any help is appreciated.!

oops,. never mind about the files transferring to wmp, i clicked on genre, and a lot of songs had been filed there; I was looking under "recently added". I am reading more of the links you mentioned. Always a good idea to do the research before whining about things! Patience is a virtue.

Re the LW Pro, it's a one time payment of $18.88 & entitles you to free updates for 6 months. Whatever versions that you download during the 6 months are yours.

But...it's up to the user to save & back up their LW Pro installers If you didn't save your installers then you'll have to buy again if you want to use Pro.
