So you are using the version from the zip file right? You just unzip & use, no installation necessary? Did you clean your system with Crap Cleaner before hand?

BTW you will probably need to reconfigue it with Norton FW again. Norton tends to do that.

Also, delete your LW Preferences folder whilst LW is closed; instructions here: Point #2 & 3 in Fixes for Limewire (sample image included at bottom of page.)

If still issues, remove all java versions, then install this version: Java 1.5 (take the JRE)

BTW normally installing LW will uninstall the previous version at beginning of installation, else you can uninstall via start menu > Programs > LW > Uninstall.


Considering the population of LW users, no I don't think there's that many. Count how many users with installation issues & see what % of 20+ million that is. Lots of zeros less than 0.1% lol
