When you went to install it, did you right click and 'Run as Administrator'?
I find unless you do this with Vista, strange things can happen which never occured in XP. Cheers -------------------- |

LimeWire not connecting is a very well known issue so while you're surfing the gnutella forums check out the LimeWire not connecting topics. There is lots of troubleshooters

for various reasons I do not advocate using any P2P program on a computer
however, this link http://www.limewire.com/support/ may have some hints for you? |

Instead of spending $21.95 you can switch to Frostwire.
QUOTE FrostWire is a high quality and totally FREE LimeWire PRO alternative. http://www.frostwire.com/ Google search of 'limewire not connecting' returns 109,000 results. You are not alone. -------------------- |

Hmmm. Thought your link to Frostwire was worth a look. Have now installed FW and removed LimeWire Pro. They are the same program with a different color scheme but FrostWire has extra features.

I suggest if you've paid for pro use it and get your money's worth. There are known connectivity problems with all P2P applications anf if LimeWire is what floats your boat, keep it
