vista is that grey are in which I'm not too familiar with, but I hear seven is the same... if you get no reply, in the next ten hours, I'll do an install on the big machine, and post the results.. before 10 am chicago time. in the mean time you should check to see if f/w is allowed in the systems programs...(firewallsettings) and also state if you are behind a router. ( I these factors may have some impact )
or maybe one of the other people hear has a bit more input

This is a connection problem, see If LW 5 Will Not Connect

is that the best software for windows seven and vista?

LW works fine on Windows 7. I have windows 2000, XP & 7 & LW runs fine on all of them. The display looks different in Windows 7 with semi transparency of course. My LW on Win 7 connects fine.

I deliberately bi-passed Vista due to all the issues I heard about it. I didn't wish to get involved in those types of problems. Vista was a Micro$oft "Lemon".

Hi,

I am also new but, I have been using Limewire for OSX and the PC version for a good while now. The best trick I can recommend for the PC version (LW 5.4.8, Java 1.6.0_18) and since it works (I just recently discovered) When it comes to movies; Google the "title"<spc>"torrent" (ex. Star Wars torrent ) follow obvious protocol, click download torrent and the prompt to continue download should pop-up in the (PC ver.) LW program. Apparently, My Mac OS isn't up to date so I am using older version of LW on it (LW 4.12.6, Java 1.4.2_12) which doesn't support that feature. The reason I point all this out is the search functions are not the same. Search thru LW is very limited. A "torrent" search is much more satisfying.
That's my tip. Good luck and enjoy.

Greetings, Harry1234

My tip to you... I have an AMD Sempron LE-1200, 2.11Ghz, 896MB running OS XP_SP2 and LW 5.4.8 Java 1.6.0._18. Assuming your using a PC -- Google a movie title. (ex. Star Wars Torrent, X-Files Torrent, or Frank Zappa Torrent ect...) Choose a site (Ex. ISOhunt) choose file to download. Click download. Wait for LW to confirm download. Click icon to continue. Wait for download to complete. Done. I usually watch *.AVI files and watch them with VLC media player (v1.0.5 Goldeneye) I also have a Mac PowerPC 750 (Blue Tower) 400Mhz with 896MB with LW 4.12.6 Java 1.4.2_12 and the biggest difference outside of the big fact that my Mac is out of date software wise thus can't run the latest version of LW for OS X is that the torrent trick does not work. Now this might be do to the version of LW I am using due to my OS limitation but, LW for OS X as well as the PC version has a built in search feature... But, nothing beats a Google "Torrent" search.

Email me if you have questions or problems with my tip. Good luck
