Check and make sure you have it set to use the LW player. Open LW and go to Tools>Options>Player, make sure there is a tick beside "Use the LW Player", click "Apply".

If that doesn't work, try deleting your preference folder: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/window...tml#post183932

C:\Documents and Settings\mike\Application Data\Limewire

You have hopped a step too far forward in the directory. Those files are found within the LimeWire (preferences) folder. Delete the above folder.

File will not delete if, LW is still running, or else, you don't have admin permissions for that folder or directory.

You could always try setting up a new account on your computer & using LW on there instead or as an experiment to see if it runs ok.
