My Limeware won't start "again"
 

It's been awhile since I used it and whenever I do this, it won't start. I can't remember what I did in the past.

1) I have un-installed Norton long ago....never liked it. At computer start up I get a couple error messages that basically it is missing files to load Norton. I have to do a restore with CD's I had sent to me to get that portion of this computer. Restores a such a headache when you have a lot of files on your PC.

2) I have McAfee, but the firewall is not installed

It seems I only have Windows Firewall and Limewire is an exception and I tried re-adding it also.

Be sure about the McAffee firewall because if it is running it will cause problems. Also try just temporarily connecting without the XP firewall turned on. If it works, then delete the firewall rule you set for LW & redo it. User Cant Connect - LimeWire
