Anyway here's the problem

I install Limewire (the latest version, I've tried the beta as well) and everything works fine the first time.

But then when i turn it off and come back later it wont connect! I dont know whats going on!

Also it will work on the administrator profile but not any others and since my dad wont let me used the adminstrator profile i dont know what to do....Any help would be appreciated

Thanks,
Superdoor

Limewire has to be installed by an Administrator...If your Dad won't let you have that privilege ask him to create you a short cut for your account...

Could you also supply these details please...

Ya that hasnt helped it sitll will only work once after being installed and never again what do i do?

Hmmm...

You started this thread with the title, "ahhh vista"...

You have told us a lot about hardware and absolutely nada about your Operating System software !
Is it Vista ?

If so, get rid of the Vista as your absolute number 1 priority.
Then carry on with installing and enjoying LimeWire, OK ?


You 99% sure are suffering, as are millions of others, from the gobsh ite 'protection' features of Vista. (Which is an interesting concept, 'protection' I mean, as Vista is probably the world's greatest bit of spyware.)

I am not getting rid of Vista just because of limewir it is an excellent operating system and this limewire problem is the only one i have faced!

Ohh and computers need Operating systems so im told

OK get your Dad to try these fixes...
Try uninstalling your Java from the add/remove programs and then re-install the JRE 5.11 offline version....
Archive: Download Java 2 Platform Standard Edition (J2SE) 5.0 Update 11

If that does not help with your problem try deleting your limewire preference folder...

Ehh tried both of those and neither worked! What do i do?

Me talk DOS, too !

In fact, me talk Q-DOS !

I know what I am talking about here... Sure, you may be able to get LW running OK via Vista... So what ?

Vista is garbage.

MY first comp (purchased) was a DIGITAL PDP-8 in 1971... That was interesting... This latest stuff is just study, buy, paste and glue...
(Then people come here or elsewhere and complain about what crap a particular Gnutella Client is cuz they've deleted all of their downloads and shared files...
"Copy" - "Move" - "Undo..." Wot's dat ?)

If your dad talkee the DOS, than he must be able to see how trully invasive and negative Vista actually is...

The above is not me gassing on with some ego-trip... Not of any importance to me... I do the Mod stuff here ONLY to make the Gnutella Network better for me ! Selfish, hmmm ?

So, maybe you get LW up and running... Next ?
What favourite progs of your father WILL NOT RUN on Vista, hmmm ?

My reply was only to try to assist you, LONG-TERM !

And, of course you need an OS !

Sugestions, if you want real stability... Windows 2000 Pro SP4 or XP Pro and/or Linux UBUNTU with proper Java installs and regular updates.

Short of that, you is in the jungle.
Vista is a Spanish word for 'view'... In that same idiomatic vane, Vista is 'oscura' !

Another word, en español, is ------ ¡ MIERDA !

a: exit

Well Limewire is the only program that hasnt work o Vista....and i'm still standing by what i said, it is an excellent OS, now maybe i think this jsut because i dont know a hell of alot about computers in comparison to u guys, BUt here the thing Vista lts me do everthing i wan(cept LM) easily and quickly and i dont have to know that much about computers, so really which is better an OS were u have to know about the inner workings of the computer exactly or an OS that just works for you? know i guess I'm being to conformist and going with the big company but whatever you say the only advantage of using an outdated OS is so you can brag about having it and i really dont want to brag!

Now i really have screwed up my chances of getting help now havent i!

I am not a Vista user and I will not say what you should or should not use but it occurs to me that an O/S, any O/S for that matter, is only there to convey instructions from your applications to your PC. In other words, the apps are important and the O/S is just there to make sure that nothing prevents the application from carrying out its legitimate task.

I think that for marketing purposes MS has made the O/S, i.e. latest version of windows, all important in most peoples minds when in fact it is a “means to and end”, not the “be all and end all”.

Saying all that, we have to accept that we now live in a world dominated by adverts, marketing and hype it’s just a pity that things like “facts” and “truth” gets lost along the way.
