hey doods..
i adviced a friend to install zone alarm firewall...he already had limewire on his system (which i'm guessin ran evrytime at startup)
now when he starts his computer, all he gets on his desktop is his wallpaper and a message saying "Please allow LimeWire access to the internet and restart limewire". He isn't able to start anything else....

how to rectify dis mistake...plz hurry, im being put to blame till i remedy dis situation

PS: when zone alarm prompted him a couple of times to decide whether he wants prog to access d net, he checked d dont ask me again box and clicked on OK

ask him to boot in safe mode and uninstall limewire as well as za and then reinstall them later if his comp boots normally.

i am using both these programs together without any conflicts.
