If I turn off limewire - to say reboot - how come i lose all my files
 

I run a emachine with a pentium 4 processor, 512 ram, 6gbye hard drive, with a cd-r recorder, and a dvd player, I just purchased Limewire Pro (and have to admit it is better then the basic), but I search the videos I want downloaded, I had a list of like 75 - but only 5 were processing... and then - my computer was down on power, so I closed Limewire Pro and rebooted the system.

when I got back on, and loaded limewire pro - all the downloads both incomplete & not connected yet were gone... even the one that had 85% done.

Where do they keep going, and how come limewire pro - can republish the files you were working on, you could do it with the basic...

PLease help.

It sounds to me you might be having problems closing LW down. The LW preferences won't normally be corrupted unless the comp crashes or you don't close LW down properly b4 you shutdown the comp. Thus, wait a minute after you close LW, go control-alt-del & see if LW still exists on the active side. If yes, then you need to wait much much longer for LW to close properly. Either that or swap your Java versions. Sometimes one version of Java doesn't run well on some people's systems. If you have Java 1.5 then try uninstalling & install 1.4.2 instead. Or if you have Java 1.4.2 then the opposite. Fixes for Limewire
