What happens is when you delete that folder, the next time you open LW it will create a new preferences folder. But if you have any special settings it would be worth making a note of them before you delete that folder b/c you will need to reset your LW options.
Depending on your Operating System version the LW prefs folder should be found in C:\Documents and Settings\Username for Windows NT 4.0 / 2000 / XP but for Windows 98 / ME you may find it here C:\My Documents
You can do a search for .limewire & find it that way. I have provided a sample image to show what I mean. I'm not a windows user per se so I hope this is ok.
Just in case this trick doesn't fix your problem can you give us a total desciption of your set up: 1. OS version, 2. What firewalls you have, 3. ram, 4. HDD space available, 5. Connection type, 6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers, 7. Where are you trying to connect from (home, school, work, etc.)?
These details are vital if you want us to find out what your connection problem is. |
