Hello. I have been useing Limewire for the past yr. Everything has worked fine in the past. I recently had to perform a complete sys restore. I had saved all my files and backed up my sys. After I completed the sys restore and relosded Lime wire "The newest version" I got the program to load and seems to be working fine but it will not fully connect and let me search and down load as before. Everything is as it was befor I performed the sys restore. I have Mediacom high speed internet. Pls help me in figuring out this problem so I can use Lime wire again

Hi Oscar,

First thing to try is: Delete LW's preferences folder when LW's properly closed. See point 3 here & also point 2 if you've used older versions of LW in the past (there could be a folder in either location).
Fixes for LimeWire
This will kill all of your settings within options, you'll have to go back through afterwards & reset things. If you're not sure of your settings, go through LW's tools > options & write them all down, so that you can reset things later.

What version of Java are you using? People have had problems with Java 1.6.0_01 & _02. Try this version instead. Use the JRE offline installer & remove your current Java version(s) before you install this one.
