Hello and thanks for taking the time to read this post, My limewire as been running great till this morning, The problem is when i try to start LW it just flashes on screen and then nothing,
I have looked at several posts here on the same prob and followed the instructions about re-installing java runtime (offline) and LW (offline) installer but its still the same, Since it worked no settings have changed and i done full AV scan and ad/spyware scan (non-detected)
I have even tried to system restore I looked in the LW folder and found a few of these hs_err_pid Here is the latest one.. P.s just checked my processes and its showing as running in there
