Try the fixes here: If LW Will Not Connect

If nothing helps, post back with your system details. That thread has info about the details, so do the forum rules which you had to read before posting. Without those details, we can't give you any more help.

1.- go to control panel

5.- restart you computer and you'll be able to conect to internet and use Lime Wire at the same time as well as you internet explorer.

I had to call mc afee to figure this out cuz was been a pain in the a....

this problem and this is the only solution that they have for now until they fix those compatibility problems with vista, mc afee and LW.

I have my laptop with vista, lime wire and explorer working really good, any question contact me @ *email address removed*

Hope this work for you folks!!!

I have suddenlink cable modem and that is who provides my macfee service. It appears when i go to uninstall privacy service and spam killer there is no option for these. Just site advisor and virus scan and firewall. What should i do now?

I am using Widows Vista Business and cannot get past one bar of green on Limewire. I have made an exception in my security section to allow this program with my firewall and still I get dick. Someone help me please. I am using Symantec Anitvirus Program and cannot disable it as it is a company service.
