the installer you get to install it is in your program files then you copy to a external drive.

I apologize for being so inept with this forum stuff and Gnutella

that's OK a lot of people have the same problem limewire could make that part clear by stating somthing like after the 6 months or 1 year is up you have to pay for any more or just stick with the one you got. that would be nice

I didn't find any installer in any drive

I don't know how to start over or even if I must....I don't understand why I just can't reinstall and if I must pay, I will pay but if I start over all those songs I had listed will be gone?

Would you suggest that I buy the reload process, pro with all the updates and hope I get my listed music anyway. For a guy with an MA degree, I feel dumb and awkward. If Limewire had sent me any renewal notice, I'd have renewsed as a matter of routine, but I got nothing until I tried to relaod. Then I got than message that my email address was INVALID> I still don't know what that's about of what is the best thing you might suggest now? I am grateful for any input>

Your downloads are saved to your computer. Providing you haven't changed the location for saving to somewhere silly (eg within program files), your files will be safe if you reinstall LW. To check - in LW go tools > options > saving. The default location for saving (Windows) is C:\Documents and Settings\your name\Shared...that's a safe location

When you buy Pro from the official site www.limewire.com your email address is added to the database. Once your Pro is more than 6 months or a year old, depending how long you've bought Pro for, your email address will be removed from the database unless you buy Pro again. Your email address will only be in the database if you've bought Pro from the official site.

When your Pro is getting close to expiring, you'll see a notice on your Pro personal download page...offering you a small discount to renew Pro

what kind of OS do you have? windows XP

I have Windows XP Home se, in a Dell 8400 with lots of memory and an exterior WD 1000GB hard drive. I am uncertain as to what I ought to do now. I'd like to continue where I left off, even if it means reinstallation. I would rather that Limewire let me continue as things were, instead of having to start again from zero. I'll be back on trying to fix things in about 40 minutes, after dinner. I never got a renewal notice from Limewire and in fact I got no email from them at all. Thank you for your valuable time.
