See page 1 of this thread & suggested settings & if necessary, Revert Popups to Default.

If nothing seems to work, then try deleting your LW Preferences folder whilst LW is closed; instructions here: Point #2 & 3 in Fixes for Limewire (sample image included at bottom of page.)

mac users would find such preferences folder here /Users/your_username/Library/Preferences/LimeWire
& Linux here ~/.limewire or ~/Application Data/limewire

Newb poster here. Just downloaded basic LW (had a version on a previous computer, worked fine). Now, I can download the files, but on many files, when I try to play them in Windows Media Player, I get a window which pops up named "License Acquisition" from media.downloadmediacentral.com (showing a picture of a chick in a bikini and inviting me to meet hot singles), and another "File Download" window which asks me to download a file named "Play.exe".

I am suspicious of downloading a file named "Play.exe". Is this normal? Do I have to download that file?

Thanks,
K

I deleted the .limewire file and now LW is no longer on my computer. Do I need to reinstall LW basic?

Thanks,
K

I don't know if this will help you but first I would say yes you need to reinstall LW on your computer but for the License Acquisition issue, I have noticed occasionally I will download a file and when I attempt to play it I will get a message saying I need a liscense to view this file. I clicked yes one time to see what would happen and IE started up with multiple windows and all of them were to porn sites. I tried closing the windows but they were opening up so fast I could not get them all closed. So I used the task manager to completely shut down IE. After that happened I have never tried to get the license when I am prompted to. I would say that alot of these porn sites hide their files as other names to get unsuspecting people to access their websites. I did download a different media player that will play these files without asking to get a license and when I use that player all I get is a scrambled video. I can only assume that these files are all from porn sites so I no longer even attempt to access them.
I also do not open any files that have a .exe extension.

morn everyone hope L.W.works today down loaded new pro yesterday really dont want to download illegaly when it does down load a song i cant find it in my temp folder someone got any ideas where it might be hidding my music THANKS

If a file hasn't completed downloading then it goes to the incomplete folder. Once it reaches 100% downlding, LW moves it to your downld folder. Getting off topic here.

THANKS LOR new to forum be more careful next time

Thanks!!

It worked!!!D:

I just started limewire and i am already disappointed

You should've used the forum search (great tool) to look for license or read all of this thread...you would've found
