I have just recently purchased a computer with windows Vista installed onit.
However I am trying to download applications I previously had on my old PC
like Limewire and I am unable to do so.

It say's that's it trying to connect but it never does and I left it up and
running for quite awhile. As it being a new PC I am sure it has nothing to
do with the pc, I am thinking more along the lines of Limewire not being
compatible with Vista.

Can someone please help it is is actually compatible and I just need to
download something else?
 
Being able to download or not has nothing to do with program
compatibility. Are you able to browse websites? Did you have
*any* program download successes? If downloads fail with Internet
Explorer, have you tried downloading with an alternate browser
such as Mozilla Firefox?
 
Yes I am able to brose websites, I have also had other download success as
well, it is just with the Limewire I am really having an issue with. So I am
not sure if it not compatible with Vista with it being a new OS and all I am
not sure.

Please excuse my lack of knowledge on the situation. It allows me to
download thet program itself. I just says that it cannot connect that's all..
 
I am having similar problems. Just bought a new Dell laptop with
Windows Vista Home Premium on it. I'm having problems downloading sw
such as Limewire, and also with Skype - I can download it but once I
try to connect I lose my internet connection, which is what happens
when I try to download Limewire. I'm also having problems with the
software for my camera and blackberry. Any ideas?

Thanks.

I just purchased a laptop with Vista Home Premium. My sidebar has no gadgets
(it did at first) and says that none are installed. When I click on some
Control Panel icons such as personlization it does not open. Any suggestions?

thanks
