Well I dont have to worry about it connecting, because I cant even get it to load up. I havent changed a damn thing on my PC, and I have been running limewire for ages. Out of the blue, when I click on the icon - nothing happens. Little hourglass for half a second and then nothing. Checked all running processes, and limewire isnt in there. So tried to update and get new version (didnt want to, but better than none at all) Exactly the same problem!!! virus checked, even defragged (not that its going to make a difference) and I still have no limewire. Is there a known issue here? I havent run it for a week or so? can anyone help?
