I have had problems opening limewire ever since it was first run on my computer. The first time i used it, there were no problems. Now when I come to load it, nothing happens. I click on the icon and the egg timer appears for a second, then nothing. I have tried the following:

Re-booting
Re-installing
Deleteing then re-installing
Searching my HD for any trace of gnutella and limewire, deleting it, then reinstalling
Re-installing Java
Re-reinstalling Java
Downloading the Java installation program onto my HD then re-installing Java
Contacting my ISP to see if any ports have been blocked- they say not
Changing my firewall settings to allow limewire to run
Disabling my firewall
Disabling my virus scanner

NOTHING has even come close to working to my knowledge. I was considering buying the full version in the first place, but thought I would try the free one first. Glad I didnt upgrade. If the free one can't work, what hope does the pro version have?

Anyone ANY more ideas at ALL on how to get this dumb program to work..? Considering formatting my HD (for different reasons. I keep getting the blue screen of death though I think its my BIOS at fault for that one)... Think that will help..? Anyone anywhere with any advice would be muchos appreciated!

Cheers!
