I wish that was the problem

Again its not a matter of connections quality but its looks like I didnt post enough info for you to help me out.

OS - Windows XP pro
limewire - v4.0.8
Firewall - none

connection speeds:
1.7 megabits per second
Storage 211.2 kilobytes per second
1MB file download 4.8 seconds


problem:
Unable to connect cannot do any searchs/make uploads and thus cannot start any downloads if I cant search.

Failed Solutions:
So far ive tried to delete my whole limewire preferences directory but it didnt fix the problem.

Working Solutions:
After running limewire for the first time and then quiting; the only way to use it again is to delete/reinstall limewire.


Thanks for the help so far Lord of the Rings but I hope this info helps out alittle anymore feedback would be appreciated.
