Default How to recover files lost in Limewire Upgrade?

I recently upgraded to the latest version of Limewire Pro.
On the old version I had a file three-quarter downloaded. When I did the upgrade this file did not re-appear. It is still on my computer in a file called INCOMPLETE. How can I get my upgraded Limewire to accept this file and complete the download?

"IF" the file is not appearing in the Download window, then go to the Library window, select the incomplete folder down bottom left, find the file, select it, press Resume button. That should force it back into the Download window. All should be fine as long as the LW download history of that file was not corrupted somehow.

I tried what you suggested but it did not work. The problem is that I have been moving around the My Documents folder and have got things a bit mixed up. Where exactly should the Limewire Folder (which contains the Incomplete folder) be located on my system? At present I have it in the My Documents Folder, which I'm sure is wrong. What is the correct path. I am using Windows XP Home Edition. This is the path to the file I am trying to download (the film 'The ***y'). C:\Documents and Settings\My Name\My Documents\Limewire\Incomplete\XGW4Y6UUDOABZDNBCFZU QR2BBPDM2LND\The ***by - R R 1974 DVDrip ENG-NL\The ***y - R *** 1974\the incomplete file (75%downloaded)

The folder itself should never be moved. LW does that itself, so if you have moved the folder yourself, it will probably have mucked up LW's download preferences having seen no such file existed for at least a period of time.
