LimeWire being blocked?

2005 Dimension 5000. WIndows XP/HE. fully updated.  OE 7.0, IE 7.0 5730.11.
LimeWire 4.12.6. (Not PRO)  Java 1.5
 
Last year I successfully downloaded music files from LimeWire.  A recent attempt failed completely to connect.  I am wondering if recent system protection S/W updates (eg, phishing) have altered a significant setting somewhere.
 
Has anyone had a similar connection problem with Limewire?

    Check your firewall for configuration.  Sounds like it is doing a good job.

    Thanks for your reply.
     
    LimeWire is ticked as an exception in my Windows Firewall. Care to explain in detail what I should do?

    IE 7 could be blocking it.  Just exactly what are you trying to download?

    Well, it worked fine last year on IE6.  What I am doing....for instance.
     
    Click on Search Type: AUDIO.  Click on:Genre.  Click on Soul
    Click on SEARCH.
     
    Nothing happens.  Usually a page full of titles builds up.  Dispaly bar at bottom of page states (download arrow) 0 @0KB/s.
     
    Also a title from last year was still sitting in the downloaded sector. (now deleted)
     
    When Search clicked, message repeats 'waiting for stable connection'.
     
    This PC is on Broadband running @ 2 MB/s +

    Have you ever run into this with LimeWire????
     
    I have a new Dell Inspiron E1505 32 Bit running Vista, it worked fine in XP on my old Dell Laptop.  Having major problems with Vista.
    I have changed the compability mode to XP Service Pack 2
    I ran LimeWire as administator and this is what came up. The first box said that it was a corrupt installation or not complete.  I have tried to download this several times.    I'm wondering if it might be better to just remove it and pay the monthly fee for Yahoo jukebox.
     
     
     

    LimeWire version 4.12.11

    I eventually got over this problem by deleting Limewire and doing a clean re-install. I also found out that it was very traffic dependant, and the response was quite slow during peak usage time of day. If I waited until after midnight, the download times were OK.  Nothing to do with my ISP, just the Limewire website.  Sorry I'm not able to help decoding your log.
