HeHe, thanx alot! Can't believe all it was, was that older ".limewire" folder that you said to delete. Then after deletion, ofcourse like you said, I checked my "Application Data folder" to see the "LimeWire folder" that was suppose to be there THERE! I mean after reading and reading countless threads on the matter, and carefully choosing which action to take. Easy enough all it really took was deleting that folder. I'm much thankful, grateful... YOU NAME IT I am that. Thanks for all your assistance in my download angst, I bow to your apparent superior LW knowledge . You're AWESOME, so go ahead & pat yourself on the back there Birdy. Seriously, standing ovation for you there . You deserve it, you've yet helped another poor "I Can't Get My Limewire To Work" soul. Now I'm off to maraude the highspeed downloading pleasures of my LW . I'm obviously having too much fun with these smileys too, hehe THANKS AGAIN

It's that easy people... well in some cases .
