Hi Francois,
I can't tell you the exact services you need to be running for Limewire to work, as I have always avoided Limewire due to it's previous poor reputation in some quarters for harbouring, undesirable elements.
I understand that the latest version of Limewire is considered safer than some previous ones, so the choice of using peer to peer filesharing programmes like this must be one that you take after satisfying yourself that you have taken steps for your system not to be compromised.
To put your services back to their default state you could do the following:
1. Goto the Start Menu
2. Select Run
3. Open services.msc and select OK
4. Services will open. Select the Help Menu
5. Select Help Topics
6. The Help Window will open. Click the + sign beside Services
7. Click the + sign beside Concepts
8. Click Default settings for services
Having done this and rebooted, you could consider disabling services one at a time to observe if your functionality has been reduced.
A good site with lots of information on this is to be found here:

Best of luck

Thanks paws I have left the defaults settings on and limewire works fine. In the near future I may decide to go one by one, but that takes alot of time to test. So I will keep you posted on the services
Have a good day,
Francois
