LW does not launch at ALL.(i mean,at all)
 

XP system and i downloaded some update couple of days ago (prolly the servicepac 2)

The problem seems now to be this :

LimeWire does not launch at all. Nada. Nothing.Nothing happens.

I double click, nothin.
I go to the folder and click the exe. files.Nothing.
I reinstall,boot,destroy the folder,reinstall Beta4.1.5 and 4.0.8
Nothing.

I am aware of other peoples problems with bad connections but this does not seem to be that. LW worked fine for couple weeks.


Tried the search function too...
Have installed DIV X and SP 2 but nothing else.

After that LW is dead.

Any suggestions??

Read about xp sp2 b/c there might be a point made there that applies to you. I'll leave the other suggestions up to the connections specialists.

Thank you.

But my problem here seem a bit different.

Others get their LimeWire PROGRAM open, but they dont get their
connections or downloading to work.

I on the other hand dont even get the PROGRAM open!

Nothing,nothin happens. I cannot go even to the LW prefereces or see my downloaded or incompleted files.

Threre is,like, no limewire on my computerer (even if its there).

Double click on the shortcut: Nothing.

Even the hard drive doesnt start...

Forgot in a haste...

I have disabled my XP firewall.
For the duration of the using LW i disable my
Norton firewall too.

:(

Doesn't sound healthy at all! Have you tried running any file & disk utility softw to check your system out? I'm a mac person so I'm not sure about the best approaches for xp. For mac we have different 3rd party ones such as Norton Utilities. I'm presuming u have the most recent version of Java for xp.

Yup.
Have tried the Norton,Adaware,Spybot.
Nothing.

Microsoft conspiracy? :)




I use LW from mac too, no problems. (Though i have a different
place/service provider).

rough gess

Have u tryed redownloading the java or uninstalling it and reinstalling it try that?

You mean Java 2 Runtime enviroment SE 1.4.2_0.5

Size 108,00MB...

Wtfck?

108MB?

The runtime environment (JRE) not the SDK!

LW exe. will not exe
 

I am having the same problem as bebebe.

I was on the network with Limewire working perfectly fine. Then I did two new things - I upgraded from Netscape 7.1 to 7.2 - and I upgraded DirectX to 9.0.c.

The next time I started up the system -
The icon for Limewire will not respond. I dig into the Limewire file and try again. No response. -- I upgrade to Pro 4.0.8.
Completely unistall 4.0.7. - Install 4.0.8
Still absolutely no response.

Could something between Netscapes 7.2 or more likely devilish Microsofts DirectX 9.0c have changed some essental settings for Limewire. ??
