My PC was acting strangely, so I put it back to factory specs. I have had to reinstall all programs. I've had no problems with other programs I've boughten online but Limewire. I bought it last year so I am of course past the six months, and Limewire does not recognize my e-mail addy. Does anyone know how I can get it back? Please!

Since you've gone past the 6 month time limit, your email address won't be in the database anymore...LW won't recognise it.
If you haven't saved your Pro installer(s), you'll have to pay again if you want Pro.
It's up to the user to save & back up whatever installers they download

I thought you might say that. Thanx anyways. Just thought you should know this is a well thought out and helpful forum. You people are very knowledgable and helpful. Thanx again.

I jioned the forum to ask the same question. What a bugger! Computer crashed and lost a lot, but thought i'd be able to restore my Pro subscription and retrieve my downloads.

It's terrible that your system crashed and trashed. Sadly if you use MSWindows then there is no-one to blame but yourself.

Just because Windows is the most popular OS, doesn't make it the best.

In fourteen years using the alternative I have NEVER suffered a crash, virus, malware, trojan, adware or any other downloadable nasty. I've NEVER had to pirate (read steal) expensive Windows software.

There is nothing you can't do in Windows that you cannot do in Linux. Linux is stable, faster, more secure and easier to set up and configure than XP. You can install the entire distro from just two floppies and a broadband connection to any of myriad university ftp sites.

And the best thing of all; grouse app's like Limewire are cross-compiled to run on Linux.

Avoid , use Linux and be forever .
