I was under the impression that Limewire won't run on Windows Vista. Thats the reason why i'm holding back from getting it. Although I can get a free vista upgrade.

LimeWire runs fine on Vista the only problem's I have had so far have been configuration problems. IE router and firewall although it does require installing Java 6 JRE before installing LimeWire.

Default Limewire and Vista

Well I'm about to give up on this. I've done everything that grandpa has said to do. I even had my IT guy from work at my house to make sure I did it right. LoL. Limewire still will not work for me. It worked once for about 2 hours then uninstalled itself after hijacking my internet connection and no matter what I've done since, it will not work. Does anyone have any idea when there will a version of limewire specifically for Vista? Or any program I can use until that time comes?

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!!!

Smile Yay!!

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?
