You will find it here:-

C:\Users\your username\AppData\Roaming\LimeWire


You must show all hidden files

I've tried dumping everything several times and downloading again. It seems to work up until I get the message that there's a corrupted download or internal error. I don't have the security turned on and have uploaded the latest Java. I'm lost. HELP!

Default cant connect anymore???

Ok any suggestions. I have been using lime for for quite some time now and have nothing fancy set up as far as preferences. Just use it happily to download a few songs for my I pod. I just downloaded the new Lime wire and now I cant seem to connect. Any suggestions. It worked fine a week ago?

1. If you are using VISTA, the folder will be called Limewire, NOT .Limewire

2. You will only see that folder if (a) you have previously opened LimeWire & made settings. (b) you have turned on Show All Hidden Files & Folders; How to find LW Preferences folder in Vista (click on blue link).

If you're not using VISTA, then see Point #2 & 3 in Fixes for Limewire (sample image included at bottom of page.)

I am using Windows Vista and do not have this path:
C:/Documents And Settings/your_username/.limewire

Can you direct me where to find this file in Windows Vista? Thanks.

lmao See the first link in my post just above.
*sighs* people who cannot read information posted for this purpose. There's also a Sticky in the VISTA section of forums (link I gave above) about where to find the LW preferences folder for vista. Obviously you skipped past the forum rules right? lol

Hey guys. I am running Vista Basic and have tried every way to follow the instructions so far and either can't find the library folder and/or the file that is requied to be deleted. If someone else if having trouble logging on and using this operating system, I would love to hear from you with some thoughts on how to fix this problem. Cheers from downunder.

If my ISP dissallowed Gnutella connections, wouldn't that also stop me from viewing this forum? I can't get a connection here where I am staying (DSL), yet at home it works well (cable) and at my daughters it works (dial-up). All with the same laptop. This makes me think that the ISP is blocking it. Any suggestions?
