If Coffeennicotine's suggestion doesn't work for you try this.

Uninstall Limewire
Go to search for files, type in limewire and delete any files that come up. Make sure you delete the shared folder. It seems to be the main problem.
Now just reinstall limewire and it should run smoothly.

Make sure you do this FIRST before searching for any limewire files & deleting them. Otherwise you will get into all types of problems with getting LW operating at all.

Generally the search for limewire files is best sorted by deleting the LW preferences folder; Easy instructions & sample image

Here's how we BOTH fixed this problem.... this may only apply to vista machines tho... sorry

We changed the shortcut to and the limewire.exe file itself both to compatibility with windows XP sp2 by left-clicking the icons and going under the compatibility tab.

Then we left clicked the shortcut and chose "run as administrator"

after doing this the program hung up at 19% and said something about a "save folder" being damaged or missing. after hitting the "OK" button on this dialog box another dialog box came up asking us to choose a folder to stand in for the "missing or damaged" saved folder...

We simply created a folder named "saved" and this solved the problem....

Thanks you helped me straight away!

Thank you so very much! I was going mildly insane trying to get it to work. Vista may be pretty, but it's driving me batty :/
