The gnutella.net file is inside the LimeWire preferences folder & should be deleted for LW 5 as this seems best for LW 5 & it will create a new one. Since you have already deleted the 'old' LW preferences folder once, it will now be called Limewire, not .limewire

Hi again,
I have gone into My Computer then into C:\Program files\LimeWire there I have folders named - .networkShare; lib & root. I then have files: Buy LimeWire PRO; COPYING; data.ser; hs_err_pid1980; inspection.props; install; language.prop; LimeWire; LimeWire; LimeWire On Startup; pmf; SOURCE; spacer; uninstall and unpack. have I gone down the wrong path as I still cannot find gnutella.net?

The prefs folder isn't within Program Files
You'll need to make sure that your computer is set to show hidden files & folders because the prefs folder is within an Application Data folder, which is hidden by default.

Which OS are you using? There's info for both XP & Vista in the link that LOTR gave in post #2... if you're using Vista then you need to click on the 'prefs folder in Vista link' as well: LimeWire Pref Folder in Vista

If you're using XP then there are very basic instructions within this thread (click on link): If LW Will Not Connect


Are you using LW 5.0 or LW 5.1? Open LW, click on Help > About LimeWire & you'll see the version number.

OS is XP. I have done a search of the hard drives and then put a search on 'My Computer' and still cannot find 'gnutella.net'. It would seem that this file didn't download. Do I actually need it to run LW? I ask as someone said to delete it.
