I had a problem where LW wouldn't connect. I had the "one bar" dilema.

Anyways, first, start out by completly exiting limewire. Meaning, there is no LW icon at the right hand corner. If there is, right click it, and click exit.


Then, go to my computer>Local Disk (c drive)>documents and settings>your user name>and delete the .limewire folder.

To double check, check all of the user's folders to see if there is a.limewire folder.
