thanks for getting back to me. yea, i checked the saved saves and all is lost. okay...they told me updates were available, i kept ignoring the messege, and finally clicked to update. Upon restarting, I went back into LimeWire and it walked me through the steps (as if I was getting it for the first time on my computer) install wizard set it up.....i went to my library....nothing there. once again, thanks for your help..text me back.....thanks.........-larry
