I think installing windows media player 9 may break LimeWire by setting shared directories to be read-only, which has the result of successful downloads seeming to disappear (they get saved to non-shared, non-library diretories). Trying to change the permissions back to normal isn't possible as they instantly revert back to read-only.

Please tell me someone has found a work-around for this issue!

Many apologies for cross-posting.
