You might want to try this. Uninstall Limewire completely. Then go to www.limewire.com and download the new 2.4.2 version. After it installs, just delete the addons that you don't want. I did this right from my desktop. The new version is a vast improvement over 2.3. I'm actually considering buying the pro version. The installation is simple compared to the older versions and Java hides itself when you open Limewire instead of the way it used to come up first.....Kudos to the developers. A MUCH better program!....My only concern is that I still can't resume the incomplete downloads. .....Maybe the next version?
