The installer seems to work just fine. I', did however try the alternate installer in the hope that I would avoid the problem I'm having. When I try to run LimeWire after I click 'Finish' the screen comes up and starts the loading process when it reaches the "loading user interface it freezes every time I went to LimeWire's FAQ and couldn't find anything helpful that worked. I have the proper version of Java Runtime installed. Frustration reigns! If it helps -- I'm running Windows 98SE on a very reliable dial-up connection. I hope someone can help! Thanks!
