downloads in limewire gone...need help

[adz3174]

hey guys, ive been using limewire for a long time and just today ive got a problem ive never had before.im using a few months old version of limewire pro (4.13 something) and today i kept getting those error messages where it gives you the option to review it or discard it...since limewire was still working fine i just clicked discard. they kept popping until i eventually thought "screw this" and decided to exit and re-open...but when i re-opened it said "limewire was unable to reload your old downloads" or something like that...now with just under 2000 files of music (alot of hard to find music too) i was naturally a little annoyed.since the computer has been on all day i thought a restart might fix it...but it didnt. opened limewire again to find a blank download list. all the files are still in the incomplete folder...but wont load back into limewire.

i tried installing an older (non-pro) version too and that didnt work. i reinstalled the pro version i was using...that didnt work. i downloaded the latest (non pro) version and that didnt work either.so does anyone know how i can get all my downloads back into limewire? i really hate the idea of having to find all my music again. its strange thought coz about a year ago i decided to format my computer to clean it up a bit and i thought "great im gonna have to search for everything again" but after i set up the computer the way i wanted and installed limewire again...all my old downloads were there still...i was like WTF. so i dont understand why its doing it.also...

if it makes any difference...im on 56k dial-up and im using windows XP SP2 with all the latest updates. my computer is virtually virus, spyware, adware etc free coz i use AVG, spybot and ad-aware and i rarely have any problems. i dont have have other dodgy toolbars in my explorer or anything. i keep my computer very organised so this is really quite strange and annoying.so can anyone help me out? ive looked around the forums but mostly found topics about accidental deletion and stuff like that. this is nothing like it...i didnt delete anything...just closed limewire after discarding a bunch of error messages, and after re-opening it wouldnt load my old downloads.help...anyone? id really appreciate it coz i love my music and if i have to search for all of it again im not gonna be a very happy camper. about a quarter of the files were close to 100% completion as well.
