Music will download but then will not transfer to mp3 player or anything!!!!!

[AidanBo]

I downloaded limewire. at firdt everything worked fine and i was able to transfer music from C:/ProgramFiles/Limewire or from my other shared locations to my removable drive (mp3 player) but then about a week after all this worked i kept downloading music and it would not show in C:/programfiles/lime or anywhere else....... i finally noticed a tab stating "Compatability Files" i clicked it and there were all my songs.... well i tried transfering one to my mp3 player and got an error message stating that "Error 0x80070052: The directory or file cannot be created" this is on a Windows Vista Based PC.

[wondering why]

I'm not a Vista user but if you understand what is meant in these posts try it...

Quote from Grandpa..
When people are having this problem with Vista they need to make another save folder. I have set mine up in the following manner. D:/LimeWire/Incoming then I pointed LimeWire to save the files in the incoming folder on the D drive.

Try deleting the Limewire Preference folder, this will send all of your configurations back to default, then you can re-set them back to where you want them...

I have tried all of the above suggestions but am still getting the same error code and this is not good. Thank you for all the suggestions and help keep posting if anything new is found.

Have a look at these links, it talks about memory sticks, but an MP3 is the same sort of thing...
