Hello LotR

You helped me with exactly the same problem a few years ago when I had XP but this one is more complicated. I'm using Windows 7 now.

"Are you sure you're connected? With 5 blue bars bottom of screen?"

No I see no bars.

"Try step 2 (Deleting LW prefs folder) here http://www.gnutellaforums.com/window...ng-should.html .."

Done. I deleted the Limeware folder from AppData, right clicked on the LW icon and 'run as administrator' after setting the compatibility setting to 'windows 7'

I had earlier installed Java 1.6 so I re-installed it clicking on your 'offline' link, but I still don't see how the hell you can specify 'run as administrator' - right click does nothing.

So all in all I've got nowhere. This is my 3rd installation of LimeWire over the years and this is the only time I've achieved sweet FA with it.

Your assistance is much appreciated.
