That's ok, I was using LW 2 just 6 months ago! Those points will help anyway I assure you.

Sometimes a simple solution is to trash the LW preferences (whilst LW is closed) called .limewire If your Preferences folder is in list mode then it should be at the top of the preferences folder. But if you do delete your preferences for LW, you'll need to reset all your option settings again (no it won't affect your dwnld prefs: they're stored in a file called download.dat & found in the incomplete folder.) So it might be an idea you make a note of them if you decide to try this. This has been a simmple solution for many people. What's more, with LW2 both the LW prefs & dwnld prefs I found to become corrupted every few months.
