I tried changing, resetting to default and resetting again my limewire share directory, download directory settings with no effect. I even deleted limewire 4.8.1 and installed the newer 4.9 but still no luck.

Could you explain further on changing my wmp settings?

Also it is not only video but audio and images that can't be accessed.

also forgot to mention my system specs. I'm running XPpro with no accounts other than the main admin account.

Thanks again
