Yes, Birdy, I have done all that you suggested except for removing the LimeWire preference folder which, after a thorough search of my computer, I can't find. And, as far as I'm concerned, this is all beside the point. Why am I having problems with a program that ran quite well for almost a week, and this is the third time it's ran about that long before failing - in the past I've rest my computer to an earlier time, but I just want this to stop this time! There must be something wrong with the program, or I'm doing something wrong that I don't see. More help here, please !
