Which firewall? For XP you click on the firewall icon at far right of tray. Else find the firewall in your Control Panel. :) Add an exception for LW; Setting up an exception for LimeWire in your software firewall (click in link)

Do you have any other firewalls? Try installing this version. http://www9.limewire.com/download/LimeWireWin-full.exe but only if you wish to use LW 5.

i made sure the firewall would allow limewire and i even tried to load the other version you suggested and still i get the same error message.:confused:

the message now says that there was a bug and asks if i want to send the bug back to limewire for them to fix..... very confused:eek:

Upgraded to XP. I wonder if there's any issues with that.
Try this http://www.gnutellaforums.com/333278-post2.html but instead use use one of the LW versions listed in post #427 above. ;) Might I suggest you try LW 4.16.7. So instead of step 2 in that link, use LW 4.16.7 , but do not install it until step 7. ;)

again i get the error about the firewall not allowing it... i give up
:shoot:

System details - help us to help you (click on blue link) :) Sounds like an overkill security system on your computer .. doubling up on things which is what is causing the problem. ;)

im not very computer savy, but i have a brand new HP laptop with the neest version of Vista- i tried to install LW and it has been stuck at "Please wait, Installing Flash"... im only trying to get the basic version, I tried the backup and its is sitting at the same spot as well. I have flash, i think its even Flash9, but y is it tryin to install it? Did i click a wrong button when all the pop-ups came on? Should i have hit save not run? CONFUSED!

LW Version 5
Windows Vista
Internet explorer 7-connected to my desktop router(linksys wrgt...)

8GB (brand new got nothin on it yet)

Use this installer instead http://www9.limewire.com/download/LimeWireWin-full.exe :) It's what we call an Offline installer, in that all the components are already within the installer, no waiting for parts to transfer across the internet. Also, right-click the installer & choose to run as Administrator. You will need to do same for LW after you install it. :)

it still doing the same thing! and i cant right click- i am also already set up as the administrator for this computer... i was able to get LW 4, but i cant play any music off of it?! i used to have LW on an older computer i dont know why im having such a hard time?! this problem wouldnt have anything to do with maybe firewall or anything would it?

well actually, now since i had to close LW4 to try to get LW5, i cant even open it anymore, it says to re-install it! o man!
