Issue: I just payed for Pro and now it wo'nt connect. I get the error: "LimeWire was unable to initialize and start. This is usually due to a firewall program blocking Limewire's access to the internet of loopback connections on the local machine. Please allow LimeWire to access to the internet and restart Limewire"
I went into the firewall settings and allowed limewire to go through but still get the error. Any help?
