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.

Yes some videos & audio files that have the capacity for DRM do get loaded up with links to suspicious sites. You should never click yes to allow it to send you anywhere. Some are Phishing type sites. VLC - (click on link) _ (choose nearest mirror site) is a player that will not allow such popups & is a reliable player for videos & also many audio formats.
More about DRM here What you should know about WMA/WMV Files

did what you said about going to tool and ticking the default button everytime i go to press apply it unticks itself or if i just press ok it stays but when i go back into it the tick has gone again. any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Lord of the Rings, now where do i go to download music with a license

Im trying to download songs from Lw to a folder in my computer, well everytime I drag and drop the song from the folder to my removable disc, it says it cant because its "writeprotected"?? Is there an easier way to move all my songs from my computer to my removable disc? And I have reverted my popups and enabled showing licenses. This even happens when I try to move songs that I got from Bearshare. Please help. K.

Hi all, I'm having a with Limewire at the moment, and also I downloaded Morpheus to check if it was Limewire or possibly something else. Oh and I also reinstalled Limewire and this didnt work either. Could you help?
1. OS version? Windows XP
2. What firewalls you have? ZoneAlarm
3. How much ram? 512 MB
4. Hard Disk space available? 17.2/55.8 GB
5. Connection type? (Eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) broadband
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? Belkin F5D750 (although this might be the usb stick)
7. Where are you trying to connect from (home, school, work, etc.)? Home
8. What version of Limewire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version. LW 4.12.11 Java 1.5.0_10
9. Who is your ISP provider? Tiscali
10. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. network of two computers, laptop (this one) and a desktop. I also use Morpheus, see above
11. I did get "Your test worked"
12. I got false
13. download speed 971kbps upload speed 215kbps

PS. I dont know how accurate the test results are, because i dont live in America, and when I chose a different state, my results varied greatly. Many Thanks.

Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface?

Zonealarm will need configured to allow LW access to the internet. See: Firewall setup. If your running zonealarm you should have the xp firewall shut off.


The Belkin F5D750 is a WIRELESS ADAPTOR, and not the router. There should be a main box that your wireless adaptor transmits to. That is your router. What's the name and model? It probably has a nat firewall in it that'll also need configured. See: Connection problems? Check here first!.

Tiscali is known filter/shape file sharing apps. See birdy's post here: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...ali#post259809
