Hi all. I am only new to all this and reasonably illeterate when it comes to pc's. I downloaded l/w this am and experienced the kinda probs u have all referred to. I read most pages of this forum and pieced together this bit of advice.
1) i closed down l/w completely before trying the folder delete thing as suggested.
2) Located the folder vis "find" in the start up menu. Deleted it.
3) Still experienced probs but then went up to "file" on the l/w interface and clicked disconnect during it "trying" to connect.
4) I then clicked "connect" and within seconds found that it had connected to a "fair" reception.

I am not sure if this is a perm or temp solution as i wasnt game to shut it down now I got it working but will keep u informed.

Help!

Used Command prompt for jar file but don't think it ran. Got "NoSuchMethodError". Jar file have to be in same location as LW preferences folder? Preferences are deleted, can't connect. Connected yesterday with and w/o firewall. Using XP.

hi again!!!

ok i have found l/wire to be a VERY good place to d/l music. In addition to the "fix" that has worked for me I also found that if I do not have a "good' connection or connection is "poor" if u "disconnect" from file menu and then click on "reconnect" it works like a DREAM!!!
By the way...if you are thinking of giving up and not bothering like I almost was....DONT! It is well worth the perserverance!!!!!!

People. I personally suggest that you always update your version. 4.1.7 has, for the moment had the best connection overall (almost always Turbocharged and connects in an instant.).

when I downloaded limewire, I couldn't get connected either.

so I closed it completely then delete it. Then I opened the folder to where it was downloaded and started all over again.

It works beautiful.

Try it.

Many Many thanks.

Worked like a charm

Please tell me how to find my preferences directory. I went to the C drive, but can't find it! Help!! I have XP!

Is there a number I can call for support . . . this is getting ridiculous. Thanks for your time. How do I get my money back if there is not?
