First of all, I have a legit, purchased copy of Limewire Pro 4.9.3, from Limewire, it is installed and works just fine on my account... BUT...and there is always a BUT...I cannot for the life of me get it to work for a new account I created which has full Admin Privileges on Windows XP Professional w/sp2. (Account was created for my daughter), All other software works on her account that was originally installed on the main Admin account (mine)
Limewire just seems to sit there trying to connect. I checked all the settings, Universal Plug and play and ports, they are all the same as my original account.
Some other info...
