Exclamation Vista Ultimate and LimeWire PRO 4.10.0

I succesfully installed the latest Java 6 runtimes for Vista, and LimeWire installed without problems as well. But it just won't connect.

This is my PC setup:

Core 2 Duo 2.67GHz (OC'ed 2.99GHz)
Windows Vista Ultimate (32bit)
X-Fi XtremeMusic
Ati X1900XTX
2GB (2*1GB) OCZ dual channel

And I have a direct cable connection to the internet, I have got Windows Firewall enabled but have made Limewire.exe an exception. Can anyone please help me with this? I really prefer LimeWire over other p2p programmes.

Get a new version of LimeWire. Old versions are incompatible and have bugs.

No I do not have McAfee or Norton anti-virus or firewall software installed, I only have the Windows Firewall enabled.

And that Java update is for the v5 runtimes, I have the latest v6 runtimes installed.

As for the version of LimeWire, v10 is still new isn't it?

Do you see a wall in front of the globe ???
Who is your ISP ??
What is the make and model of your modem/router ?
What security do you use ??

Yes there is a wall in front of the globe, but I have excluded Limewire.exe from the Windows FireWall.

My ISP is Telenet (Belgium), I only have the default Windows Vista security settings enabled. And I don't use a router.

Weird, when I right-click on the link for LimeWire (or BitTorrent) and choose 'run as administrator' it does seem to work. Albeit more slowly than otherwise, on XP I get up to Turbocharged speed, in Vista only up to Fair Connection.

But I am logged on as an Administrator, so why won't it work when I simply double-click the application? Maybe the next versions of these programmes need to be further optimised for Vista?
