i got my NEW laptop, which is a windows vista basic on august 17th or something.
the only file i have downloaded is: windows live messenger and iPod Rip and iTunes.
i just downloaded limewire (4.14.18) the newest version i guess.
but there is NO connection, i think it might have something to do with my norton internet security and the firewall setting and i have read the thread on how to fix firewall settings with norton internet security.
but i have NORTON INTERNET SECURITY 2007 (the older version)
and the appearance is so different i cannot find where anything is!
please help
