O.K. I've upgraded from 98 se to XP pro when I was running 98 my downloads were fine. Now that I have XP pro I've had to re install lime wire and get the new java program and still can't download. I've also turned off my firewall as well. Can anyone guide me in the right direction. It seems that there is alot of people having problems lately what's up. Thanks and Cheers

I presume you have XP SP2. SP2 changes the firewall settings back to default. It also reduces simultaneous connections; see MS & 3rd party patches

Make sure you have at least Java 1.5

You may want to delete your LW prefs if you're using the same as before. 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.)

After this, do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface?

Thanks for the info. I actually was messing around some more and got it to work. Thanks for your time much appreciated. cheers

I'm trying to download limewire but a message keeps on popping out and giving me this message: (see below) and it tells me to send it to bugs@limewire.com but my email keeps on sending it back to me. looks like that this email address is not working. Please help me!!! send me a message at [email]******
