Ok guys I'm sorry because I know you have explained this problem to others but I'm just not understanding. I have a new computer that I got yesterday and it has vista on it that has already took place on my bad side. I hate it. I have been trying to dowload Limewire Pro and after 5 hrs I just now got it. The wizard would not come up to install the program. Now after getting it installed I am getting the message that other people are getting that reads: Error - You machine does not appear to have an active internet connection or a fire wall is blocking limewire from accessing the internet. Limewire will automatically keep trying to connect you unless you select disconnect from the file menu. Ok I have McAfee. It came on my computer. But all of this firewall stuff is kind of new to me. Sad to say. Can someone be so kind to help me out. I am really confused on what I need to do.
