Hello Everyone.I've never been to this site before. I have a strange problem and would appreciate anyone's help or advice. I have been using Limewire for quite a while,but lately the voices are way ahead of the picture,,this did not use to happen. I'am wasting so much time downloading things that arent usable , I have a 2006 HP Pavilion slimline with Windows vista.I would so appreciate any responses.

p.s. I have had successful downloads on this same computer,this has just started recently

wildwindsoh Hi
Try downloading & using the VLC media player (Its Free) & recommended by us here
at the limewire forums. VLC player has most all of the codec's built into the player &
plays above average quality for music & excellent quality for video files, (It plays most everything)

If you wish, VLC player can be set as the default player for your computer, to do this
In Limewire Library, highlight a file mp3, avi or whatever you wish then click on
explore, in the bottom left corner.
This will take you to the shared folder outside of Limewire, right click on a file,
choose, open with, highlight VLC player, then tick the box to always use this program
to open this type of file. Repeat this action to include all the file types you wish VLC
to be the default player.
USE THIS LINK IN BLUE (download from the nearest mirror site to you)

Also!!
USE BITZI LOOKUP
when you see a file in search eg.. avi,mpg,mpeg you want
Right click/advanced/look up file with BITZI, if its not reported on leave it, till it is,
Now music, is not so easy,
The Newer they are, the more careful you must be.
The Spam company's are putting swarms of fakes on the network,
Take note of size, Songs less than 2000kb with 128kb bit rate, must be less than two minuets.
THINK!!, how long is the song I'm looking for ?
so what size SHOULD it be,
If it dos'nt have a bitrate! LEAVE it,
Scan every File before OPENING them
Don't D/L exe,rar,zip,or wma files. I am expert at using LimeWire & I don't touch them they are 99.9% viruses.
We only use these for testing anti virus programs.

P.S.. Try typing only the key words of the file, & leave out the small words (small words trigger SPAM results)

P.P.S.. Add these words to your word filter .exe .rar .zip .wma That will stop 50% of crap search results, Don't forget to apply.
Peace.
