Yes, you have to remove the whole thing. Then get a stable and free anti-virus like AVG FREE instead of that McAfee bloated piece of crapl

I would delete them completely, and try to get them again from different sources.

Thumbs up Issue SOLVED!!!!

Three things:

1. Unistall your McAfee Firewall, (Privacy Service and Spamkiller in case you have it) but do not ever unistall McAfee Anti-Virus.

2. Right click on the Desktop>Personalize>Windows Color and Appearance>Select Windows Vista Basic and click OK.

3. Download LimeWire Beta 4.13

Beliveve after this you'll be ready to go.
good luck!!

Default Doesn't support Vista x64 Aero

I've been running Vista for some time with no limewire problems except for not being Aero compatible. I get switched to Windows Basic from Aero every time I start limewire. Running Vista Ultimate x64 2GB Ram AMD 4600+ so it's not a system issue.
