Attempting to set up LimeWire 3.8.8 for my teenage daughter on Windows XP Pro.
Works fine from 'administrator' account, but not from any 'user' account (my daughter's or mine!) - just shows 'Quality:Disconnected' status.
For obvious reasons I don't plan to give my daughter 'administrator' rights!

Norton Internet Security 2003 firewall in use, I have followed the instructions given for port and javaw.exe rights - and firewall is active for all accounts, so I don't see any difference there anyway.
Likewise can't see that 'parental controls' could be stopping it - my own 'user' account has that switched off and I can't connect from that either.

What else could be stopping this?

TIA, Steve.

Hi...

I know the following is a bit on the old side, but

If you don't find a solution there, at least you will have more info to use when you say, "No, I do know about that and it is not the problem..."

and.... Have you checked the 'built-in' firewall in XP ???

Thanks for suggestion...but that didn't solve it.

XP's own firewall is off (I rely on Norton)

Install was from admin account

Tried compat mode before (sorry, should have mentioned that) - neither Win2000 nor Win98 mode made any difference.

Java version is pretty up to date - 1.4.2_03 - with plugin at same version. I checked also that user accounts get the same version as admin account.

If I go to user account, right-click LimeWire, and 'Run as..' admin then it works - but then it has admin rights, which is what I'm tring to avoid.

I looked at Norton logs and could not see any blocked conneciton or firewal restrictions happening when user execution of LimeWire happens - just stays 'Disconencted'. Is there some way I can have LimeWire tell me what is failing or being rejected?

Thanks for the help.
