Talking Limewire keeps going to Napster website

Hi, I have been using limewire for ages without any problems until this week when each time I click on a song to download it won't work and the Napster website comes up. Anyone else had this problem?? Would really love some help.
Thanks

Did you search the word Napster on the forum? If you did, you'd already have your answer. Forum Rules (click here)

I DID download V4.12.3 and it is still doing the Napster pop up thing. Tne Napster hack must have been altered to work with the new version of Limewire.

Yeah, I just subscribed to these forums, and I just realized that this is happening to me too. I don't really know much about computers, but this is really frustrating. It happens when I want to download a video. Music works, the napster only pops up when I'm downloading a video.

Paradise, did you download the latest version (4.12.3)? If not, you can download it here
http://www.limewire.com/english/content/download.shtml
(dpwirth sorry but I don't know why you're still getting the Napster crap, someone else might??)

Before downloading a video file, look it up with Bitzi. If the file's been rated then you'll get an idea of quality & content
How to use Bitzi

Are you sure you're running 4.12.3? Go to LW's menu bar, Help menu -> choose About LW & it will tell you. If yes, 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.)

Also, control-Alt-del & open process manager & see how many times LimeWire is listed.

Yes it is v4.12.3 and LimeWire is only listed once. I will try to delete the preferences.
