Hi,
I am having trouble, not opening limewire, but downloading. The note that pops up says that I am connected but not fully connected. I have deleted limewire completely and re-instated but still no joy. The five lines on the bottom of the screen are brown but on my other laptop they show green?????
What do you think?

Default Can't connect!?! Serious Help Needed!?!
I had LW basic and one day I recieved a message stating that there were fony messages and I thought that is was a false message but it looked up to date so I did what it said and that was to install a lower version of LW basic. After doing so I haven't been able to connect, it stays at one bar and behind a firewall. I then upgraded to LW Pro thinking it would turn out for the best but it still does the same, it stays at one bar and behind a firewall. Before I was able to conect but ever since that day I haven't been able to. I need serious help!?!

In Limewire Links (below) click on (If LW will not connect) and go through these fixes -- also this link (Fixes for LW when LW isn't operating as it should) if yr problem still remains click on (system details)fill in and post back here

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!

Thanks so much for the solution to my problem. Your suggestion worked for me and I was able to connect immediately. I'm glad there are those out there willing to help those of us with less knowlwdge. Thanks again!

This just worked for me too! Thanks so much! I had tried everything else and had just about given up hope of ever using Limewire again!

2) Go to LimeWire Preferences and disable the auto-connect at launch option.

3) Quit Limewire. Then relaunch Limewire. Then manually "connect" from the menu. Voila!

I surmise that the new Tips box is interfering with the application's ability to connect!

I should have made step 1 more clear - you need to make sure LimeWire is totally shutdown before attempting this fix.

Thanks!
