I have had limewire for a while and never had problems until recently. I have windows vista. Suddenly I cannot save my files to my computer anymore. However, I have always been able to do so until now. I updated to the newer version of limewire basic, I even installed a new java update. I deleted files on my computer to make room, and I even deleted files in limewire. Now I have lost all my music, and I cannot save any new music. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can see the firewall detector in limewire, but I think it has always been there. I do not recive any kind of message when I try to save files. The window just never opens up. I have tried everything I can think of with no success. Someone please help!!!!!

In the newer versions of LW your downloads are saved in a different location -- you will find all your old music files here also --check this link out (http://www.gnutellaforums.com/window...downloads.html)

LW links are changed at times to match the current problems.

Have had similar problems in the past with Vista and being unable to save files from app's onto local drives, major weird file system stuff. I eventually learned it was COMODO Firewall causing all sorts of hidden changes to my existing file system. It's unfortunate, but jumping into that program without advanced knowledge of what it can actually do will put your computer at risk if your not careful.

There are definitely windows commands that can be run to unlock or protect these things from happening I'm sure of it, just I have no clue what they are. If your problem persists, you might want to go hunting down a better explanation. If its an isolated error occuring only with Limewire, then you need to try re-installing, changing options and tinkering until you see results...That's all I can suggest, its general knowledge, but I'm not a Limewire pro yet.
