Exclamation Vista & LW

New to the forums but I did do a quick search and didn't see anything. I bought Limewire 4.12.4 Pro and installed it on Windows Vista Beta. All I get are "Queued" Downloads. They never start.... Any idea whats happening...? It reads that I have a "Turbo-Charged Connection" & no firewall. Never had this problem before. I have run LW on Vista before and now nothing....

Thanks for any Help - Travis

It is not the program I am running 4.12.4 on Vista with no problems. Try choosing files with fewer host 10 or less and see if that makes any difference. There are allot of fake files out there. Do a bitzi search on them before you attempt to download them. I have seen allot of files lately with 30 or 40 host and when you do a bitzi search on them there is no info. In other words they are fake files.

thanks for the heads up on the fake files. Although I'm not familiar with the term "bitzi"...?

Off to google now....

Thanks again - Travis
