Solution for windows vista, mc afee and LW!!1
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I tried a lot of things regards mc afee, vista and LW. The only solution to keep you antivirus and run Lime wire without problems is:
1.- go to control panel
2.- uninstall programs
3.- select mc afee
4.- uninstall firewall, privacy service and spam killer
5.- restart you computer and you'll be able to conect to internet and use Lime Wire at the same time as well as you internet explorer.
I had to call mc afee to figure this out cuz was been a pain in the a.... this problem and this is the only solution that they have for now until they fix those compatibility problems with vista, mc afee and LW.
Hope this work for you !!!
