Well it seems to work perfectly. I want to take this opportunity to suggest that I may be in error as to what happened,as my memory (as in mental memory) is often wrong these days. I reviewed my origional notes of the incident and I wrote "Limewire Froze-up,had to re-install" and I Didn't lose my files,only the "Library" which re-populated when I re-installed,I quess automatically from my "shared" files. Sorry to be such a klutz and thanks for your help.-cougar
