i have limewire on my computer and i have vista premium home edition but it
does not connect so i cant download anything, can anyone help?
 
bennygarcia06:
Uninstall limewire, if you can connect to the web then it indicates
that limewire isn't compatible with Vista. Have a great day.

Check ffirewall or router
 
I agree. It just causes nothing but problems because of all the other stuff
that comes through with a download. My kids use it our downstairs computer
and it is always running so slow. Well, it is an older Dell P4 2.53? Mhz but
I have had to use utilities program many times to correct problems.

I plan to install Vista Home Premium after I update the graphic card (have
enough RAM). So, if Vista doesn't like Limewire, I'll be happy but my kids
won't!! :)
 
If you use limewire or other P2P file sharing programs now you should be
more than unhappy. You should be terrified. I have cleaned plenty of key
loggers and password catchers from computers infected by the installation of
such programs. It isn't what comes with the download of the music - the
infections occur by simply installing the P2P software.

And many adware companies have made financial deals with companies like
Claria/Gator or have backed down from the threats of lawsuits and no longer
report those programs as spyware - including Gator's password collector.

That's wierd, I've never had 1 problem ever with Limewire. It's the best
music download sight I have ever tried.
 
Can you just tell us how to work it? Obviously everyone in the world is not
going to get a virus. Why so negative?
 
Getting it "to work" is a bit nebulous. Do you mean
a) it won't download
b) it won't install
c) it won't run, or
d) it runs but does so poorly.

There are no problems with LimeWare on Vista.
Just download the latest version 4.12.11
Install - it will install java if you need it.
Then after the final setup where you choose the shared folder - everything
worked without problems

What trouble are you having.

(I did not have to alter any local firewall settings or anything else)
 
it won't download,it starts to download, then just stops and says it it
doesnt restart in a few minutes to try again. thus it will not work.
 
Please see The Windows Vista Application Compatibility Update 929427. You
will see Limewire v 4.12 on the list. I'm pretty sure you need this update.

There are numerous Windows-based open source alternatives that work
better and aren't spywware/adware infested.

Shareaza
eMule
eMule Plus
ML Donkey....

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?

It's not a "download sight[sic]"

And Shareaza, eMule, MLDonkey or KCEasy are MUCH better.

So did you try the workaround I suggested earlier,
download it with a different browser?

After you install this update, a CD device or a DVD device may not work
correctly. If you select the device in Device Manager and then view the
properties for the device, you may receive the following error message:
The software for this device has been blocked from starting because it is
known to have problems with Windows. Contact the hardware vendor for a new
driver. (Code 48)
This problem occurs because a legacy application may install drivers that
are incompatible with Windows Vista.
For more information about how to work around this problem, click the
following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
 
I got it to install, but now I can't download, it says I have a firewall in
place, which I do but I had a firewall on xp and didnt have problems, plus on
vista I have allowed limewire p2p to work and not be afffected by a firewall.
