![]() I paid for the pro version of Live wire. When I try to download it a message says my user name is not found. There is no contact info to find out what to do. How do I contact these people. |

![]() I paid 52 dollars for reg version and pro upgrade. I googled for winmx.com and it switched me to a site to purchase Lime Wire.So I did and Then I found I did not get the pro upgrade. I'm starting to think there is a site out there charging people for Lime wire. I was not familiar with the site so I bought a subscription. Sorry for the problems and blaming Live wire. I guess I was scammed, but not from lime wire. |

![]() Sorry ... you have been scammed. You should get onto you credit card company and try to stop the payment, and more important cancell your card as who knows what else they may try to take off you. Then go to http://www.limewire.com/english/content/download.shtml where you can download LW for free in it's basic form. If you are happy you can upgrade to pro and you will IMHO get better connections and that will cost $18.88 for 6 months of updates and support. Good luck and apology accepted ![]() |

![]() Hi BeckyW Hmmm don't know which flavor of windows you are using or service pack. But If it is windowsXP sp2 it has a firewall, and I'm not sure if you have another firewall besides that. It's not good to run 2 firewalls at the same time. They have a tendency to conflict with each other. Also when you did allow access did you allow access for both TCP and UDP both. This sometimes causes a similar problem. Hi Grandpa you beat to the button ![]() |

Modem & router brand name & model numbers? 7. Where are you trying to connect from (home, school, work, etc.)? 8. What version of Limewire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version. 9. Who is your isp provider (Internet Service Provider)? 10. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. 11. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. 12. Do this simple test for us. Using your browser go here: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ The page should say 'Your test worked!'. What happens when you go there?

![]() I GOT IT FINALLY!!! I hadto really investigate this problem. I found that I had abad javaprogram in my computer it was missing a file or something from the last updateitdid and wasn't working correctly. SO I removed all the java from my computer and redownloaded the java and my LIMEWIRE PRO is finally working. Thankyou all for being here sorry if I was a pain. Oh and Limewire never did answer my emails or send me the personal download page as of yet. SO I still have that problem because I cannot get my updates still,any help with this is still appreciated. |
