OK, I have had this computer over a year now. I have never had any problems with limewire. I reformatted and cannot get limewire to work ever since. I am not behind a firewall according to limewire. What happens is I either get nothing from searches or I get stuff, click to download and they just sit there waiting and the bars change from red to green and back again and nothing downloads. Any suggestions? I have no idea how to put up all the info about my computer like you ask, so I would do that if someone could tell me how. I am on a gateway laptop and I have windows xp, I have NO firewalls, I am on a cable connection through Charter Communications and wireless using a Linksys wireless router. Thanks in advance!!!
