It works one day and then you shut it down and it will not work. Is anyone have a solution that will work for people who want change in this work like Obama who looks like he will win so can he fix our problem with linewire?

Default Still not working for me.
I just joined the forum this evening after not being able to connect for the last few days. It has always worked great for me and I have done nothing different. It is showing that I have a firewall but it is just the standard Microsoft firewall that has always been there. I tried deleting preferences and it is still not connecting.

Any ideas?

OS X:
/Users/your_username/Library/Preferences/LimeWire

Windows:
C:/Documents And Settings/your_username/.limewire



Linux:
~/.limewire

Please shutdown any instance of LimeWire you may have running, delete the whole directory, and then restart LimeWire. You should be able to connect.

I'd love to hear how this works for everyone.

Thanks!

I have XP on my old Computer and when I deleted in C:/Documents And Settings/your_username/.limewire and restarted Limewire it worked like a charm.

However I still can not get it to work on my new computer that uses Vista. Anyone with Vista been able to get it up and running? I've uninstalled and installed it a bunch of times and still no luck. I even went one by one to delete folders and nothing.
