My issue was that previously for years I had been able to connect with no problems whatsoever, but then one day, the following problem started. Every time I started limewire, I would only get to one bar of connection, that tiny insignificant even difficult to call a connection bar bar.
This has been driving me nuts as limewire has been unavailable to me, and as you all know, this is a HUGE nuisance.
THANK YOU, for the problem I outlined above, this solution of deleting the .limewire folder in your profile folder really does the trick. Loosing one's settings is a very small price to pay for getting the connection functionality back, and now that this is a working solution, I'm sure that playing around with various things in the folder one can actually resolve this issue and then keep one's settings.
If you have Norton's god help you, 10 to 1 that's the cause of your woe.
