Have a look at this post, it has basic instructions for finding the preferences folder in both locations (just in case you have 2 folders).

Make sure that you read the bit about showing hidden files & folders

Okay, from the noncomputer savy..how do you do an offline installer? I have limewire pro, paid for it, if I delete it do I have to pay for it all over again?
Direct me to the how tos for offline installing? Do I just save it to my computer and open it instead of just opening it as I download it?

this is what I did and it worked for me...Make sure limewire is closed.

My computer>>documents and settings>>owner(or your name)>>.limwire and found the folder gnuttella.net and deleted it....restarted lime wire and it worked..

I hope this helps

Default LW fixed

I found out all I had to do was go into my computer, under the hard drive, my user name and delete the .limewire folder. I restarted my computer and started limewire up with no prob. The first time I tried to start LW wo restart my computer but it did not work. I did not have to do anything else. I downloaded the gutnella.net file and put it on my desktop but never had to use it.
I have windows XP SP2 and many java updates.
Works for now.

1. I turned off at&t firewall and that did not work.

2. I followed instruction #2 by deleting limewire folder and then did a search for any limewire folders and deleted them. Still nothing

3. I uninstalled LW and reinstalled ....that didn't work either.

I don't know where I would get the routers manual .....i don't think one came with it...I'll do a search on the internet. i'm pooped. I really miss my LW. I'm very sad.

I'll take more tips if you have more.

Thanks again for all your help.
