Hello all.

I have a Gateway notebook with Vista. When I installed Limewire 4.14.0 originally, I had the preinstalled McAfee security suite on the notebook. I downloaded a few songs with Limewire just fine. Then about a month later I tried Limewire again and it freezes just after it boots up into the search screen. I have to use Task Manager to end the Limewire process. Since I don't care for McAfee, I removed it from my notebook and installed Norton 360. I made sure that an exception exists for Limewire; it had already been taken care of automatically during Norton 360 installation. Windows firewall is off. I'm still getting the same freeze problem - within a couple of seconds of booting into the search screen, it just locks. Any ideas?

Thanks.

Just a note - I found out about deleting the Preference folder from Grandpa's post and followed the instructions to show hidden files and folders, but can't find the Preference folder anywhere.
