thanks for the reply...yes I have LimeWire Pro...as far as posting new or old threads, how would I know....I am new to this forum, and unless someone explains things to me, how do I possibly know what the procedures are....I'm an intelligent man, relative novice to computers compared to some of you....I'm just trying to find an answer, and that seems to be beyong the realm of LimeWire or this forum, which I truly find hard to believe...oh, well, one last try....thanks
