I, too, cannot get Limewire to load. I have had this problem before, and had to reset my computer to a previous time to get it to open. Also, I have not been able to update Limewire to the latest basic version. Everytime I try, I get a file corrupt message and/or that another version is running. So today I decided to completely uninstall Limewire and start over, hoping to get the latest version and thus solve the won't load problem. So now I have Limewire downloaded and installed (no problems), but, like you, when I click on the desktop icon (or, for that matter go to the root directory to start the program) the interface opens and then disappears. No error messages, nothing. So, of course, no update. This is so frustrating to have to repeat, repeat, repeat and get nowhere. I'd like help, too!!
