Well, still don't have it working every time but have a little more info.

1)it is not neccessary to uninstall Limewire before reinstalling it.

2)once you have installed Limewire 1.3 it is possible to correct this problem by going back to version 1.2. Just make sure in this case to uninstall 1.3 first...

just my 2 cents.....

good luck
