I've had a bad problem after downloading LW Pro 3.2.2. The installation Wizard doesn't finish the process by doing the last 2 steps where it asks about my connection and my shared folder. But it does complete the installation and say it was successful.

Then, when I open the program, a WELCOME WIZARD window appears offering to complete my configuration of LW. But there are no buttons for "next, back or cancel", no close buttons either. I force quit by hitting ESC.

The reason I mention any of this is that LIKE YOU I had NO PROBLEMS with the FREE VERSION of LW. Then, once I had this problem with LW Pro 3.2.2, I can't use the free version, the Beta version , or Pro. No matter how many times I unintall, trash zap PRAM, rebuild desktop, I have the SAME PROBLEM.

So, like you, I can't go back to the old version which used to work. I've read quite a few threads in which people have some goofy problem. And like you and I, they had a previous version which WORKED. But once they used the newer version which caused a problem, the previous version which WORKED, now has the SAME PROBLEM.

CONCLUSION: LimeWire is LEAVING SOMETHING SOMEWHERE which doesn't go away no matter what we do, and screws up everything we try to do subsequently.

Sorry, I couldn't help directly, but maybe the LimeWire people will read this and see a PATTERN. I certainly do: WHATEVER IT IS THAT GOES WRONG, IT KEEPS COMING BACK . . . . FOREVER !!!
