Now when I try to reinstall i am allowed to run the instalation process until the end when i get a corrupted instalation message and am told to retry. I have but the same thing happens again.I am running windows xp, have a norton firewall,diskspace is at 19.35gb running dsl on att. I tried the test and got a test worked message. thanks

Just check and make sure that you don't have any of the old limewire still floating around, it maybe a case of not uninstalling correctly the last time...

Try going to your computers Search and type in limewire and see if anything comes up...If it does delete it ......

There are no files stored at the LimeWire site. You do not connect to the LW site when running LW. You connect to other users like yourself. That's why it's called p2p (from peer to peer) sharing.

BTW if you are using Norton firewall, then make sure XP firewall is disabled. The two will clash resulting in less security not more, plus other problems.

Download them do you mean or move them from your downloads folder to elsewhere such as your My Music folder?

Files need to be 100% downloaded before you can use them. If they are selected into the download window but are not finished, then ...

To find your completed downloads: For fast & easy access, go to your LW Library window, select Saved Files folder & press the Explore button. Sample image here: Using Library Explore button to access downld folder (click on link) & the folder will open up for you.
