If you find that you still can't load your limewire even though you have followed every step in Limewires main page, then you will probably have to do what I did. For some reason, nobody else has come across this problem.

What I learned was that if I manually deleted my old version of Java J2SE runtime environment from my computer and then go back to limewire and reload the newier version, I was up and running again.

For those who are not sure how to do this, its easy:

- first make sure that you have followed Limewires home page/connection problems steps first. You can find this at
limewires homepage under connections.

- then go into your start up menu and click on your control panel.

- then go into your add/remove programs.

- scroll down to your java (J2SE Runtime Environment file) and delete/remove it.

- once you have done this. Go back to limewire's home page and
reload the new version. it will automatically reload the newer version of java for you and voila!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was so happy that I figured it out because I just love this music site, its fast, quick and just plain awesome! When I couldn't connect I was forced to look around for other sites and let me tell you, so SLOW and just not user friendly. Lots of clicking back and forth which I found to be a pain in the butt. BearShare Lite and Shareaza just didn't cut it and I remember being so disappointed because they were really slow and good luck having a good connection. Anyways, let me know if it works for anyone reading this.


Thanks Limewire
