Right, this has come up LOADS on this site but i just don't understand what to do about it!!!
When I click "Explore" on Limewire it says "Error" - "Can not open Event folder"
HELP!!! IT'S SO ANNOYING!!!

In your LW Library window, you need to click onto a folder & then select a file to the right of it & then press the Explore button. If the folder has a small arrow next to it, click the arrow so it opens & click onto one of the folders inside & then click on one of the files before pressing the Explore button. If you find it's still hapening, press the Refresh button. This will recheck all your files & folders. And then repeat the operation. If still have a problem. Then post back.

what files? where? all i can see is names of songs i have downloaded...

Perhaps the following diagram will help. Anything listed inside these folder be they music or other are all files.

It doesn't work... i knwo youmust think i am a complete novice buti have done what you said and it doesn't help... and i am rather pi**ed off at the stupid thing.

Sounds like a bug. Have you moved any folders around outside of LW recently? Press the Refresh button, wait a few minutes & see what colour the files are when you see them. Are they black as in my sample or are they in red text?

oh dear... i refreshed and it all disappered... i think it is dead...

I think it's not dead. lol I think you may have accidentally changed something by mistake. Check your settings for LW. Go to LW's menu Tools>Options>Sharing & see what folders you have there for sharing. If these have disappeared then you'll need to re-add them. Likewise if you want to share your LW download folder, go to Tools>Options>Saving & make a note of the folder name & location, & go back to Sharing option & Add this. Press the Apply button. Now you can go back to your LW Library & press Refresh, wait a few minutes & your files will be back. You should also be able to Explore any of these folders. See how you go.

what do you add?

Any folders you wish to share. People are sharing their files with you. So don't you think they would hope you'd share with them? Actually, a nmber of people filter out those that share less than a certain number of iles be that 5, 50 500, etc. So if you were only sharing 1 or zero you'd never be able to download from those particular people.

So to share files; create a folder & add files to it you wish to share with other people. These can be music files, video files, etc. Then Add this folder as a Sharing folder in your LW Tools>Options>Sharing. You can also add your LW dwnld folder as suggsted earlier. You could also play any of these music files from your LW library. You can play music you dwnld but you would need to share it for it to be available thru the LW Library window.

Still confused ... ???
