![]() Yes, delete the .limewire folder. You must've used a much older version of LW at some stage, that's the old prefs location. After you delete that folder & restart LW, you should see the LimeWire folder within Application Data from now on. Your SB5101 is just a modem & doesn't seem to have a firewall. Do you have a router as well? Try this link for a tutorial about configuring the PC-cillin firewall. You have to click the link at the bottom of the screenshots to see each successive page. http://www.leeindy.com/firewall_pccillin-1.shtml You could also try disabling that firewall & configuring the XP firewall instead. See if that makes any difference ![]() Update your Java, that won't hurt. Use the JRE offline installer & remove your old Java version before you install the new one. http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp |

![]() Datul Hi In a word NO, its java that no longer supports very old versions. OK friend. Follow these instructions exactly. So, you need to Go, Start/All Programs/LimeWire n Uninstall all L/W versions. Do Not Uninstall From Change or Remove Programs. Re BOOT Your computer NOW. Now Go to, Start/Search/click on all files n folders/more advanced options/ & make sure, case sensitive, is not ticked. (all other boxes should be ticked) Now!!, Put limewire in box, (all or part of file name) & click search. Delete everything found, including Prefetch folder, (I mean everything) Re BOOT Your computer NOW. Now! Go to, START/Set Program Access/Change or Remove Programs, now completely remove all versions of java. Re BOOT Your computer NOW. Now! Use this Link to get (jre-6u1-windows-i586-p-iftw.exe) Use the off line installer, NOT the (recommended) one, http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp When Download is completed. Disconnect from internet, close ALL apps n reinstall java. Now!! Use this link to download latest L/W version using the off line installer http://www.limewire.com/ If you need help, Shout, If it fixed your problem or not, Feedback helps others. Peace

![]() Hi datul, I don't have a version as old as you, oldest I have is 4.8.1 ![]() My 4.8.1 still works (with Java 6), but honestly...I wouldn't use it , unless it was as a test for someone. You might want to look at the LW changelog...then you'll be able to see exactly what changes have been made since 4.0.7. http://www.limewire.com/english/cont..._history.shtml There have been some huge improvements since way back then & LW is so much better now. You don't have to get rid of your 4.0.7 installer if you love it, but do consider the newer versions...they're great ![]() Sorry for jumping in Mick, hope you don't mind ![]() |
