Mabey you would like give a more detailed description of what the problem was and how you fixed it. That way other people can learn from your experiences.

well i downloaded limewire installed it went to run program but it would start up show the main screen go to connect then freeze and just close !!!! so trying a lot of things checked firewall / norton / internet settings could not solve it !! it tried to connect show up then close so i tried disabling different settings to do with internet eventually i found my broadband supplier gives you a parental settings option much like adminastrator controls so i deactivated this and got full access and limewire was better than ever quick downloads so if people get problems maybe they should check full access controls hope this helps .....
