Hello. I have PAID FOR and upgraded to Limewire Pro however everytime I open Limewire it has deleted all my settings and gives me this error message: "Limewire was unable to create a settings directory and is using a temporary directory. Your settings may be deleted when you close Limewire." Its extremely frustrating bc I have to redo all my settings everytime I reopen LW. What file do I need to create or what do I need to do to fix this?? :(

Im using Windows Vista Premium with Limewire 4.16.4

I believe it's related to Vista permissions. Check the following link, particularly re: installing http://www.gnutellaforums.com/genera...ta-issues.html
Vista has some odd behaviour compared to earlier Windows OS's & it's not always easy to know where the problems lie.
But I have heard of something similar to your problem but not identical, can't recall. Might also be worth checking about the preferences thread link at the top of that thread.

BTW the new version LW installs the download & shared folder separately & variation in the directory location depending on whether it's using new or old preferences. It might even be worth deleting your old LW prefs folder. It's highly recommended to delete your previous LW prefs folder when upgrading to Pro.

:super: I went to that link before and didnt think any pf it applied when I went thru. Silly me.:giggle: I looked again. I had to delete the preferences folder so it wud create a new one. You rock! Thanx sweetie!
