I'm having similar problems; all of a sudden i can't get any of the links to lime wire or bitzi to work. it opens notepad and gives me an error reading: the filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect. What should i do? ive allready tried removing and then reinstalling limewire, updated java, rebooted and repeated a few times. i also procrastinated long enough that doing system restore on xp home sp 2 wont go back far enough. any help greatly appreciated
