I just tried those - nothing happens when i specify folders to share, also .. under the "file menu" on mine there is no option to add folder to share, only connect & disconnect - perhaps because i'm only using the free version.

I deleted the preference folders as you said, but when I went to the add/remove programs menu & highlighted Limewire, it only gave me the button to remove it, no option to change it or repair it, so I couldn't go ahead with that. I really dont know what else to do - nothing I try is working I'm wondering if the basic free version that I have perhaps doesn't work properly.

Having spent the last 5 hours trying to get it to share my files - I've decided to just remove the program & not bother using it... it should not be this impossible to get it to work. I miss my winmx Thanks for your help, I appreciate that you tried, but I give up with Limewire!!
