This is the best fix I've ever received!!!

Worked instantly & cured a problem I've had for almost a month. Been trying other good advice of how to remedy a connection problem with no success.

Thanks alot,

Unhappy Vista...enough said

I dont want to post someting that has already been posted but I don think I can read anymore. I have Vista and ive done everything I can. I can NOT find this mysterious "pref file." I can't even find a documents and settings (i guess its a little diff with vista?) Nothing I do works...nothing. Is it becasue I have zonealarm or is Vista not compatible? Ive had limewire before and Ive never had a problem....but now.....Im thinking of just giving up....


If you cant help me, do you know of another program I could use?

lexy1650,
Try this fix first...It sounds a little wierd but it really does work...

If that doesn't work, this is where you will find the preference folder in vista...

And the instructions on how to delete it once found...

Default Success finally!!!!!!!!!!!!!

G4/Mac OS 10.4.9
Limewire Pro would not work, period. http://www.gnutellaforums.com/images...s/ranting2.gif
Solution?
Go to Limewire.com and download the latest standard Limewire.
It works AND I can't notice any difference in speed. This is not Pro, which I have paid for twice, but it works and I'm happy with it. http://www.gnutellaforums.com/images/smilies/cheesy.gif http://www.gnutellaforums.com/images...es/laugh_2.gif http://www.gnutellaforums.com/images...es/mbounce.gif

I finally had to give up on using "Pro" because it never worked for me on my G4/1ghz/MacOS 10.4.9.

However, I removed all the Pro stuff and downloaded the latest version of the free standard Limewire and it works with no problems!! Seems to work just as fast as well.

Try this -- it fixed my problem and others I have helped on this forum:-

[1] Uninstall the old version of LW before installing the new -- delete the old LW folders from the Programs directory before installing the new version
[2] Ensure that you have java script J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 (Jre ver 5) if not download from here:-

Archive: Download Java 2 Platform Standard Edition (J2SE) 5.0 Update 11

Of course if you haven't got an older version of Limewire loaded just leave para [1] out and do para [2]

please let us know -- Thanx

Bi 4 now
