ugh i have no idea how to do any of that.
No i havent seen any problem with downloading anything else, just LW.

The whole reason i have the external drive is because my LW took up all of my virtual memory, so thats why i got a 500gig external lol, now no problems, till i try to upgrade my limewire.

I think i might just remove my old LW completely and see if anything works after that. Like anything to do with LW.

If you're going to uninstall LW then see points 1 - 7 here: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/333278-post2.html

Just remember that if you're using a Pro version of LW, you'll lose that Pro version unless you have an installer saved or have current Pro benefits (so that you can download from your Pro download page)
