Hi eldutton
Your method of getting Limewire (LW) sounds a little suspicious. Did you actually pay for LW? Did you get it from here?: http://www.limewire.com/english/content/home.shtml

So tell us about your system & setup: What OS version (eg- Windows 98), what connection type & devices (ie: What modem brand name & model number? eg: D-Link 604G; Where are you conncecting from (home, school, work, etc.)?
