In windows (I have XP)

Go to Start My Computer
Go to c:\programs\program files\limewire
then click (or double click) on the file that reads
limewire.jar
(and under it says executable jar file)

Once I clicked on that, i went through the short setup language thing again and it worked fine!!!!

Don't know what'll happen when i shut down again of course, so i'm cramming in some downloads now!

I just made a shortcut of that file to my desktop.

Oh ya, I heard it helps if you disable the "start limewire at startup option" from another thread.

So I'm going to post this in a bunch of threads in case it helps anyone else.

I got this advice from another thread so thank you to them!!
Tried it - didn't work. It just starts Limewire in the normal fashion, and sits there with one bar - effectively trying to connect forever, but never actually connecting.

My firewall icon is showing the wall (that is, lw has detected a firewall) and yet I have no firewall turned on (windows firewall is disabled and PC-cillan firewall is disabled - infact PC cillan is turned off as well as the firewall feature disabled). I have tried everything including putting my PC in a DMZ (a setting in my d-link router) effectively connecting to the internet with zero firewall protection - and still I can't connect.

I've just about given up.
