firewall issue i think...please HELP =(

[skakid619]

Hi, i formatted my computer and installed an older version of limewire (4.9.30 I believe). After installation I try to open and it goes through the setup wizard. I get to the point where it tells me limewire needs needs to receive info from the network to function properly (the first firewall screen). I proceed and click NEXT but then the wizard just closes and I can't get any further.

I have checked my Java and also my norton firewall, which I don't have and also my wireless internet router, all of which seem to be working fine. I even tried turning off both my windows firewall and an NVIDA Firewall I have but I still can't get passed that screen without the setup wizard shutting down.

I also have tried the newer 4.12 version of limewire, but after installing this version when i click the shortcut or try to run limewire, it opens the loading screen then just closes and nothing loads.

There is no freezing, it just seems like the setup wizard in v4.9 closes and I can't even get to the setup wizard in v4.12


Hopefully my problem makes sense, I've been trying to fix it for the past 2-3 hours and haven't gotten anywhere. Any help is MUCH appreciated, thanks!!
