I installed the offline installer and it removed the old version. I restarted my computer and opened up LW again. I waited a few minutes for it to connect and i still could only to the first bar of connection. So I looked again for the LimeWire folder. The LimeWire folder still isn't there. I don't understand why not. I even tryed typing it in at the top but it just says: Cannot find file C:\Documents and Settings\*username\Application Data\LimeWire. Make sure the path or Internet address is correct.

since that didn't work, i tried the port forwarding again. I got past that part, (thanx for the help) and finished the port forwarding. I went back on to LW and restarted it. I gave it a few minutes to connect, but im still stuck at bar one. this is getting ridiculus! Thanx for sticking with me,
