I've done that once before... but I can try again

It worked once after I deleted the pref folder...
It won't connect if I don't delete the pref folder first...

I forgot to tell I also got and use Spybot - Search and Destroy... But I don't think It blocks any programs...

Try these tips....
Change 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 left click the shortcut and chose "run as administrator"....

If that doesn't help let me know...Also what exactly is limewire doing ??

It works some times other times don't...
Limewire stats up normally the main window comes up but the indicator that indicates the connection quality just stands at connecting, I've waited up to two hours before I give up and close limewire.

When I did like you said it connected and got full connection...

I fianlly got irritated enough and reloaded my entire OS. After reloading Vista LW worked ;ike brand new. I don't recommend this unless you feel really comfortable with it.

Are you up and running properly now ?? Or is a case it still only works sometimes ??

Well, I'm having the same problem as well lol...
Mine just sits there trying to connect.....So later today I am going to play around with it, I will let you know what I do to get it fixed...
