Ive got a fast laptop (Dell XPS by Dell), and it runs on my brothers crap desktop downstairs, so why not on here? I've no firewall, i disabled all auto spyware etc. protection. I have no clue.

Please can someone tell me what to do in step-by step instruction, as I am one of those simple-minded folk.

Thankyou

Hmm, two suggestions:

1st. Try to delete the .limewire preference folder when LW is completely closed (means, also in the system tray). Follow the link for explanaitions on how to do this (Point #2 & 3 in Fixes for Limewire):

2nd. Try to uninstall LW and ALL Java versions you've installed. Then download the JRE offline installer from the official Java website. Install it and reinstall LW:

Then post back on your results.........
