Okay, so i paid $32 for limewire lifetime subscription, then all my music had disappeared and my comp. acted up and i needed to restore it from an earlier point in which i didn't have limewire- how do i get it back without paying again and loosing my music?? (my email addresses are even foreign to the limewire website!)

Phex is freeware, you don't need to pay for it.
Questions regarding Limewire should be posted in the corresponding forum.

BTW don't be afraid to try out Phex, it's a great program & has things LW should have. I use Phex a lot myself.
