Error Message
 

Just recently, whenever I start limewire, the first thing that pops up is an error message saying
"Limewire was unable to write a necessary file because you do not have the necessary permissions. Your preferences may not be maintained the next time you start Limewire, or Limewire may behave in unexpected ways."

I tried uninstall and reinstall, but the same message appears. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks in advance.

Delete LW's preferences folder (when LW's closed). See points 2 & 3 in the link below.

Remove your current version of Java (add/remove programs) & reinstall JRE using the offline installer. See point 1 below.

Fixes for LimeWire

Thanks for the help
 

Hi,
Thanks for your help. However, I cannot locate the .limewire folder. I tried searching (with showing hidden folders) but there were no results. As for the Java, I have the most up to date version, so I'm not sure what else to do.

If you're using a recent version of LW the preferences folder won't be called .limewire.
It will be found within C:\Documents and Settings\your name\Application Data\LimeWire. The LimeWire folder is the one to delete.
It's important that LW is closed while doing this... otherwise it won't work:)

Thanks for the help
 

There are two limewire folder. One with limewire only and the other is
limewire20.dll, do I delete both or just one? THanks again.

Delete the one that says LimeWire only, within Application Data:)
