Been using Limewire on my old computer for a couple of years (win 2000 - bless it!!) New Dell computer has Vista home basic .... I've removed all traces of the Macafee that it came with and installed AVG and Zone Alarm as these worked well on my old computer. Having tried all the suggestions in the stickies I'm now at a complete loss .... tried eMule and Bearshare with no problems (I've now removed them) Napster works fine but Limewire just refuses to connect.
System has masses of spare resources 2gb ram, 120 gb hdd, the test worked fine and nothing on our home network or cable connection has changed. Tried the Java thing ... made no difference ... can't change the port as Limewire just locks up if I try .... Does anyone have a solution? This takes me back to the early days of Win 98 .... hours of headscratching, installing, uninstalling and rebooting ... those were the days.
