Install it and reboot again, then reinstall LW.

Second, you might have a corrputed LW preference folder.
Read here on how to delete this folder (Point #2 & 3 in Fixes for Limewire)

Afterwards reboot your computer.

Also, be aware that there are a lot of faked files flooding the network.
Read here about how to recognize them:

Before doing any uninstalls and reinstalls, consider this: I've tried to download several songs today. I've been successful on 3, and they downloaded very quickly. Is LW an all or nothing proposition? If I'm able to download some, b ut not all, does that indicate my LW is working? And does it mean that all those other non-downloading sites are fake, or stuck behind firewalls? I adjusted the options listed elsewhere on this forum.
Further info: I'm WinXP, ISP provider is Comcast(just took over from Adelphia). Thanks!
