I get through the initial part where the installer is put on my computer. And it goes into the part where it says select language, which I do, then starts to download. It gets to a place where is says an older version of LW is running, and I should shut it off before continuing. The thing is, I have nothing else running except for that installer. And Ive tried to uninstall it myself before installing it but that didnt work. So i decided to tell it I shut off the old version, and it continues. and part way through it says file incomplete or corupt. and gives me the option to abort, retry, or ignore the file. Ive tried all three. retry imediate gives me the same options, abort cancels the installation, so i continue with ignore, and it does the same with one more file. I get to the end, and half the time it works. the other half it says download corrupt please download again. when it does work, I start up limewire, and it goes to the screen with the lime guy. and it just stays there. doesnt do the searching for limes thing or ANYTHING. just sits there. eventually it says another version of limewire is running and shuts that off. Ive tried restarting my computer and all different ways to make sure nothing is running that is getting confused with. And Im out of ideas now, after trying to install all the other versions i could find, and using the backup installer on this page. so hopefully someone can help me out
