I should have mentioned that yes, I have run ALL the spywares, and done full system virus scans as well as Windoctor.

To no avail.

Thanks for any help.

do you have he latest java
do you have a firewall installed
I don't think it's the two things that you did that made it impossible to connect so for how long ago did you get Limewire

I don't know about whether I have the latest java. I do have a firewall.

But this is not about connecting.

The .exe will not open. None of the limewire files will open.

I had Lime wire running successfully - and then within a few minutes (after the changes to the sytem I described above) I could not get - the shortcut, the .exe file, even the .jar file to respond. --

Nothing, - not even a 'open with' dialoge box. I might as well be clicking on empty space.

And to answer your second question - I've had, and have been using, Limewire, in all it's incarnations since the 3 series.

It works swell on my desktop -- where I have not done any kind of upgrades lately.

did you try opening the original file not the shortcut.
you might want to reinstall
go to add/remove programs to uninstall
than delete the .limewire folder @ c:/documents and settings/ (ashared location)\ **.limewire**
than delete the limewire folder usually in program files
but if you have any files or incomplete files in there that you want to keep you'd need to save them somewhere else

hey bebebe did you solve your problem?

Sounds like sp2 issue to me. I know I suggested this earlier but sp2 secretely changes a no. of settings such as these. So LW stopped launching after you installed sp2 right?

Read above post first.

As I and yuser stated we have done the show of re/installing.

Nada.

Nothing works.

I now use LW from my mac in my office and forget about this PC shtikk...

Touche. I'm a mac person myself. lol
Have you tried to boot to the OS disk and run a repair. It could be a registry issue. From Start/Run dialog, note anything? Perhaps I could also add this link: http://support.microsoft.com/default...2Futility2.asp

Hi LOTR!

What do you mean by "boot OS disk" and "run a repair"?


I tried to run LW from Start/Run section.
Nothing.



It wont even open the Limewire Icon in picturewiever.
The folder is,like,empty...even if there is all the neccessary
stuff. Nothing happens. Nada. Nienete. Nix. Nej.

Well...

Also this solution (might work.) That's to do with connecting but it 'might' also fix your prob. But yours sounds more like an error in installation.
