save directory changes randomly
 

I'm having major issues with my save directory. Twice in the last month I've opened limewire only to get an error that says "Invalid directory for saving files. Please use another directory or revert to the default." I've tried browsing to my usual saving folder to no avail. I then try to use the default directory and I get the same error message. Lastly, I'm forced to use a folder within the limewire folder which is buried in my program files on my hard drive. There must be a simple solution... can anyone help me?

I am having the same problem. I actually can't select any folder. When I select the window just hangs. I have reinstalled the application multiple times. One time it worked for a day then did it again. Does naybody know if PRO version solves this problem.

This was happening with last version and current update.

I haven't tried reinstalling, but I have had it work for a day and then give me the same problem again... I'm getting really tired of this issue.

I saw in another thread that someone is experienncing the same problem with PRO all of a suddden. The fact that this has happened recently from all the threads I have seen makes me wonder its a worm or some other code that was planted by the law or some other individual to mess with the app and make it not workable.

I've also had the "invalid directory" 4 or 5 times within the last 6 months. Until I checked out the forum I thought it was my directory file type changing or something. But no. I have been letting it go to the folder before my desired directory. Then transfering my files to where it ended up. What a Pain.

Where's Kenny Fixit?

Clue about the invalid directory. If, for some reason, a file has a corrupted directory, I'm guessing that that would create that error message.

So it's- Maybe there's something corrupted which I likely won't find, maybe.
I appreciate your thoughts Blackbird, but I can't see how it can help me. Everything worked fine, then I stopped using it for a month or so. I started it up and suddenly have this happen again.
I don't see any resolution to this problem.

Invalid directory- Try rewriting the directory over and over but still see -Invalid directory.
The defenition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

.

the pro version is identical to the free one, except that it doesn't install bonzi buddy and all that *#$@ on your system.

i've always used the 'shared' folder within the lw folder for d/ls. i'm gonna switch it to something else to see what happens...

to band-aid the current situation with the nested folder, just put a link to the folder on your desktop.

I just purchased Pro 3.02 and am having the same problems. At first it wouldn't save to a directory (folder) that I created for this. Found out that the program also put that directory in the "shared" area.

After deleting it from the shared area, it worked until I exited the program and restarted it. Now it is an "invalid directory" !

Can not complain overall with the program, but all this moving files is a pain !

It was worth $ 9.50 to get rid of Bonzi *(#*!.

SWJ:

The idea is to share what you download.

I would, perhaps, hypothesize that the creators of LW, in an attempt to minumize freeloading, automatically make the shared directory the same as download directory when the download directory is addded. Perhaps, due to this limitation set, one cannot delete it from the shared directory, so the error mesasge you see is a result of that. My advice, share what you download.
