I guess the Moderators haven't seen your post yet.
You're asking people to assist you in violating copyright law on a public forum that has a well-established policy about NOT supporting such activities?

One of the primary reasons NOT to trust applications and proprietary Operating Systems that are available on a service like Limewire is that you can't be assured that it's a legitimate, fully viable application. In this case, I'd say that's what has happened.

Find a trustworthy and legitimate source for the OS (Walmart, Staples, Ebay) and try again.

Not only are you asking for help with something illegal, you obviously missed the Announcement at the top of this forum stating that threads like this don't belong here anyway. Goodbye.
