Exclamation Limewire wont connect fully(windows vista)

My limewire opens up, but when it starts to connect it never gets past the first bar of the five...therefore i cant search anything! It used to work forever and then one day it just stopped. I have uninstalled and then reinstalled the program and still cant figure it out! any suggestions?

this is a recent and recurring problem.... has become worse with 4.18..appears to be no rhyme or reason..... sometimes if you let it sit for 5 or 10 minutes connecting... it will eventually connect..

Deleting your LW preferences was a wise thing to do we found out if updating to LW 4.18.x

After upgrading to Pro, always wise to delete the previous LW preferences folder. LW must be closed at that time though. http://www.gnutellaforums.com/genera...der-vista.html
