I have Windows XP Home se, in a Dell 8400 with lots of memory and an exterior WD 1000GB hard drive. I am uncertain as to what I ought to do now. I'd like to continue where I left off, even if it means reinstallation. I would rather that Limewire let me continue as things were, instead of having to start again from zero. I'll be back on trying to fix things in about 40 minutes, after dinner. I never got a renewal notice from Limewire and in fact I got no email from them at all. Thank you for your valuable time.

I have Windows XP Home se, in a Dell 8400 with lots of memory and an exterior WD 1000GB hard drive. I am uncertain as to what I ought to do now. I'd like to continue where I left off, even if it means reinstallation. I would rather that Limewire let me continue as things were, instead of having to start again from zero. I'll be back on trying to fix things in about 40 minutes, after dinner. I never got a renewal notice from Limewire and in fact I got no email from them at all. When I tried to reload I was told that my email address was INVALID, but it is the only one I have ever had. Thank you for your valuable time.

Your email address will show as invalid if your Pro was bought from anywhere apart from the official site or if if your Pro benefits are out of date. If you didn't ever recieve an email from LW, how did you download Pro to begin with? Have you been able to update Pro since you bought it? If so, how did you update? When did you buy Pro & who did you pay for Pro?
When you buy Pro, you recieve an email from LW containing a link to your Pro personal download page & that's where you download from.

It's up to you whether you buy Pro again or stick to the basic (free) version. Did you find the location of your saved folder? If your saved folder's in the default location, or another safe location, you can reinstall LW without losing any of your saved files. What version of Pro were you using before you were prompted to update?
