Sounds like a great offer thank you!

I learnt Kme not Thai but will be studying Thai 2nd half of year.

OK my suggestion is to find the exact location of your folders you wish to share & type it into the bottom option of the Add to share window.

eg: C:\Documents and Settings\Lotr\My Documents\My Music

What's Kme, is that like Cambodian or Burmese?
How comes you're learning Kme and Thai?

Right well, I deleted my .limewire and same old same old.

Also there is no bottom option on my Add to share window. It's like they're dead links...I can't believe that noone else has had this problem. I also tied copying and pasting my files into the default saving folder, all the files are in there Limewire can't see them so still shows me as 0 file sharing

To be honest with you, I think I'll just have to give up here, looks like that me and Limewire just aren't going to happen.

but hey, thanks again though for all your help

Where it says File Name in the above image you type in the folder address such as the example given. Then press the Select button.

Kmer is Cambodian language, has some similarities to Thai. I was very interested in Asian culture & language.

Another example is to type in C:\Documents and Settings\"your account name"\Shared which is your downld folder by default.

Did you get your LW from here? http://www.limewire.com/english/content/download.shtml

I'm thinking there's something wrong with your installation. Go to Start menu>Programs>Limewire>uninstaller. And uninstall. Then downld LW again but save it to your computer, don't install over the net. Same applies to Java. Perhaps if you downld Java to your computer after uninstalling Java, then re-install it. Find Java here: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp (take the JRE)

I think if you re-install both Java & LW from your computer (not over the net), then the problems will go away (fingers crossed.) Something's definitely not right! Needs at least another go at least!

Hey there, how's you?

Well, i've just unistalled both LW and Java and I followed the links and downloaded them to my computer first , but alas nothings changed

I can't believe that no ones had this problem before...well, that's it I suppose.

Best of luck with you're studying and if you ever find yourself jetting to this side of the world, send us a message and I'll buy you a beer/coke/coffee

Thanks for the invite. Your problem has got me stumped. I would like to think you won't give up just yet. I hope to attract the attention of other members to see if we can sort out your problem which is a very odd one. I've never heard of this problem before.

Can you give us a total desciption of your set up:
1. What firewalls you have?
2. ram?
3. Hard Disk space available?
4. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.)
5. Modem & router brand name & model numbers?
6. Where are you trying to connect from (home, school, work, etc.)?
7. What version of Limewire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version.
8. Who is your isp provider?

Ok so you've found one of my weaknesses...I give up too easily.
But I really would love to use Limewire, there's only so many Thai Soap Operas a sane person can take

I'm going to try and attempt to answer the following questions, but i'm really not all that on computer jargon...

1. What firewalls you have?

Sygate, and I configured it to allow Java and LW

2. ram?

256 MB

3. Hard Disk space available?

7 Gigabytes

4. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.)

Broadband

5. Modem & router brand name & model numbers?

Zyxel Prestige 630

6. Where are you trying to connect from (home, school, work, etc.)?

Home. Im using my laptop, Compaq Presario X1000, running on WinXP

7. What version of Limewire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version.

LW 4.8.1 Java 1.5.0_02

8. Who is your isp provider?

Hmm...as in who do I pay my bills to right? Well, that's a company called True...actrually on second thoughts you probably don't need to know that.

Checked in my network connections, WAN Miniport (PPPOE) is that any use to you?

I'm not sure what a router is, sorry...

Hopefully, we'll be able to get this problem sorted out.
Cheers again

Forgot to mention i'm also using WinXP SP2, if that makes any difference.

Salut du Québec Steppers! I will ask you something to try that might help your situation:

First try to change the theme in LW to the limewire theme. Menu Display -> Apply theme -> Limewire theme. Try to add a share in options.

If that doesn't work:
-uninstall java 1.5 while LW is shut down
-install java 1.4 instead : http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/download.html (download the JRE)
-start LW and tell us if the buttons work

I tell you that because java 1.5 on XP uses the default XP appearance. Java 1.4, on the other end, uses by default the limewire theme (different innner working). The appearance should be different for your LW, but that might help you to finally activate buttons.

Ciao

Hello et Voil,

Sorry, but I've looked and looked on my LW screen and I can't for the life of me find anything to do with themes. Too be honest with you, I can't even find this Menu display button

Could you point me in the right direction, please?
Thanks
Steppers

In menu there should be File, Display, Navigation, Ressources, Tools, Help. You select Display or the second menu (my menu is in french so maybe my translations are off a little bit).
