1. OS version? (WINDOS VISTA 32 bit)

2. What firewalls you have? ( WINDOWS DEFENDER THATS ALL)

3. How much ram? (2G DDR2 CORSAIR DOMIN)

4. Hard Disk space available? (2 WD 150G HD 10,000RPM)

5. Connection type? (cable)

6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? (RCA DCM425)

7. Where are you trying to connect from (appartment)

8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? (VER 4.14 JAVA 6.0)

9. Who is your ISP (TIME WARNER CABLE)


Idid all the test to try and make this work but it still doesnt what other option are out there?

Is LW not connecting? Is this your first try with LW, or has it been working ok in the past?

Do you have the Windows firewall turned off? Rather than running without a firewall (not safe), turn the firewall on & make sure that LW's being allowed access through the firewall.

If LW isn't connecting try the advice here: all of a sudden will not connect (a fix to try)
Start off by deleting LW's preferences folder & changing Java versions. Read the whole thread.

Things are a bit different for Vista when finding the preferences folder & other files/folders within Application Data. This thread should help with that: LimeWire Pref Folder in Vista

i had just downloaded lw on my new pc it worked fine i got to dl some songs i wanted. after i was done i rebooted my pc. It loads up the progame but after 5-10 sec after it loads i get this message from windows

Limewire works fine on my laptop with no problems and im runing XP on that one......

windows firewall is on not sure what else to do. i tryed everything on ur site but no luck at all

Try updating your Java. Use the JRE offline installer & remove your current Java version before you install the new one.

Delete LW's preferences folder when LW's properly closed. See the link in post #2. Deleting that folder will change all of LW's options settings, you'll have to go back through afterwards & reset everything. If you're not sure of your settings, go through tools > options first & write everything down.

Right click on LW's desktop icon > properties > compatibility. Try running in compatibility mode for XP.
