You can't listen to any songs on your computer?

Check your computer's audio settings. Make sure it's not set to mute.

Don't ask me why, but I had this problem recently and I have NO IDEA how anything got set to mute.

Hope this is your problem (easy fix!)

gemam03,
A few people have had this happen over the last couple of days. Maybe there's a new virus around? I'd run an AV scan ASAP & see if anything turns up. It might be worthwhile scanning for spy/adware too

Always make sure that you're using a good AV program. Keep it updated & use it to scan downloaded files before opening them! There are links here to help sites (point 5) if necessary.
WARNING: Viruses on the network you should be aware of
Within that thread you'll also find helpful info & links to security tools.

It looks to me like no one has a virus. Perhaps it's Limewire?

Mine is doing the same thing!!!! All my files have turned to Exe formats and none of the songs will play. I have uninstalled limeware and reinstalled after my virus protector picks nothing up. I have an expensive virus protection system and it picks nothing up. Has anyone figured out how to fix this?? Please help!

same thing happening here...ive unistalled limewire, deleted everything, then reinstalled limewire...it worked fine for a few days, but something, once again, just converted everything back into .exe files(408 kb each).

***here's something noone else has mentioned. when this happens, a new blank folder is created and sits in the bottom of my library, but limewire wont let me delete it. still NO viruses found when i scan.

I've had the same problems, but I may have found a way around it.
I noticed that any music I put in separate folders was fine, and Limewire did not convert them.
What I did was I changed the folder that I save my files to. So far, it's working fine, but I don't know if it will stay that way. Maybe it can be a temporary fix until someone figures out the problem.
