Try this....
Uninstall Limewire using the uninstaller which is found in start > all programs > limewire..

Then use your computer's search to look for all files & folders with limewire in the name. If you can't delete them, reboot into safe mode & then try. If they still won't delete, try one of the tools here...
Incomplete Download File won't delete at all.


Then re-install it using the offline installer...To find the offline installer, use the link below > cancel the installer window when it pop's up and then select the offline installer link...
Lime Wire » Download LimeWire

No they are saved to your shared folder, so they are safe...

you will have to go to tools/sharing/basic then add type in the location that your shared folder is like mine is c:\Documents and Settings\Compaq_Administrator\Shared or c:\Documents and Settings\your name_Administrator\Shared.

If that doesn't help...The limewire player is known not to be reliable, you could try deleting your preference folder....
This will reset your configurations back to default and get rid of any corruption that may of happened...
It may get it going again...

i can't seem to find my limewire songs anywhere on my pc, my guess is they're gone

it seems that limewire was linked to i tunes n when i try to open an itunes song it says it doesn't find...

now my question is how can i make sure that when i play a song from limewire it plays it in windows media player??

Too many people think because they see songs in LW's playlist in iTunes that they have been transfered. In fact no. Only on Mac OSX does iTunes actually physically copy the songs to its own library. On windows, the playlist you see is simply a playlist, it points the player to where the song files were when they were added. In this case your LW download folder. So if you have moved or deleted them from there, then iTunes won't be able to find them. (1) To properly copy songs to iTunes music library see How to transfer music to my iPod (& iTunes) {click on link}.
(2) To find your files you have downloaded, go to your LW Library window, select Saved Files folder & press the Explore button. Sample image here: Using Library Explore button to access downld folder (click on link) & the folder will open up for you.
