I'm having the exact same problem I had a windows xp and it worked perfectly and I recently bought a new computer and it has windows vista and I've been trying to download Limewire but I'm having the same problem as all of you. I've tried some of the things that some of you have recommended but nothing. PLEASE HELP!!!

just be patient,from what ive been reading theres an update coming from MS to resollve some issues.

Just as I was about to give up on Limewire I decided to call Gateway. The nice lady a Gateway instructed me to uninstall McAfee because she said that she was seeing a pattern with McAfee creating problems with Vista. So as instructed I uninstalled and lord and behold Limewire works I have a turbo connection. I can search for songs and download them without a problem, and the best part is....it doesn't hijack my internet connection. I can do both at the same time. Imagine that. At any rate, I don't know if this will help anyone else but I just figured I'd share the information that helped me. Good Luck!!!!

This sounds interseting. I would like to try it. McAfee came pre-installed on my PC, so I am not sure I want to uninstall it because I don't know how I can get it back.

Anyone have any ideas?

Sorry I don't know of any other fixes but if it makes you feel better, Gateway told me just running the windows firewall would be plenty and that I didn't really need McAfee. I think it just comes with a free trial that you eventually have to pay for anyway. At any rate, 3 people have replied saying that it works and its hard to tell how many have actually done it and just haven't replied. I tried everything and this is the only way I can get it to work. Its been running perfectly for about 2 days now. It may be worth a shot....

Worked PERFECTLY for me. Thanks!
