after downloading a file from limewire,when i try to open it ir reads"cant open file permission required"
what does this mean,is it to do with a user account?
this is the first time i have used any file sharing program as i was dubious of them at one time but thought i would give them a go as i have decent security.
any answers would be appreciated

Friend i think you should not use this stupid software called Limewire. Yes i know that it is one of the best P2P software but do you know that it is also able to send your system information every 20 min by creating a log file. OK that is what i can about this now. and about u question i think you should register to limewire site and then you would be able to download the file in the right way. and if you have already registered then when you have download the file must have lost the link in between will downloading it from Some server.

It's probably a copyrighted music file and you're trying to open it with media player. Check the size of the file. If it's an MP3 and it's less than 1 Mb it's not an MP3 you've downloaded, but a data file. FrontPage makes data files that have exactly the same name as the MP3 file - but are in a different folder and much smaller. It's easy to get them mixed up sometimes - especially as FrontPage puts these little files all through My music! Otherwise, it may have been ripped from a copyright CD. If you're trying to play it with Winamp, try Media player 10 - it may connect to the net and get you the license. It did that for me the other day.

Hi,
Before we start,let me warn you about the usage and cosequencesof a file sharing program.Please note that your country laws may prohibit you from using such arrangements or networks for downloading copyrighted material.Moreover,these networks MAY carry files that are infected or may have a ZOMBIE planted in them.Please use them at your own risk.
Coming to your problem,yes.A few programs do require explicit access to the Adminstrator account.If the above doesn't work,please try re-installing the same.Please also note that Lime wire requires your machine to have a Java RunTime Environment.
I hope that solves your problem.

some files downloaded from limewire have copyright-protection and only if you get the permission from the user u downloaded that file can u open it. most of them, however, are not protected with copyrights. try downloading another file. hope i helped

Excel, Word, Access files are protected. You must crack it.
It is possible to protect ZIp files too. But usually they require only password.
Another aspect is you got the file under another account and your Windows are checking your rights to this file. (Active Directory rights or something related)
I can associate only those 2 versions to your situation.

perhaps you have a firewall enabled thats blockading get right of entry to to the community. Disable any firewalls and attempt to connect back. If it works, re enable your firewalls, and allow limewire to connect
