Ignorant or unlucky?!
 

Am I ignorant or unlucky?
I have been through these forums tryinfig to find a fix for limewire but I still keep getting "LimeWire was unable to initialize and start. This is usually due a firewall program blocking LimeWire's access to the internet or loopback connections on the local machine. Please allow LimeWire access to the internet and restart LimeWire.". I have done the enabling of Gnutella ports on the control panel. And I have disabled Windows firewall, I have Norton internetworm protection on and I checked to make sure that javaw was on the "Permit All" list and it was. I have no Idea of what other direction to work in. Everytime I try to load LimeWire a prompt comes up from Norton Internet Worm Protection stating the it has detected a remote system trying to access my computer. It asks me if I want to permit it to allow access to the internet even though I click ok to permit I still get the same messege.

I have:
LIMEWIRE BASIC v 4.9.30
Microsoft Windows XP Home 2002sp2 (came with the system hate it)
Intel P4 1.8ghz
256RAM
Motorola Cable modem Comcast Broadband
Norton Anti Virus w/ InternetWorm Protection
I have disabled Windows Firewall
I share no connections
My test did work
I can't do the true false test LimeWire won't open
I also have good speed on my tests
I have also deleted my preferences.

Thanks,

P.s. If i bought Pro would my problems go away?

You don't say which version of Java you are using and this is important since Limweire is totally dependent on Java.


Also there is a Beta version 4.9.35Beta which, by all accounts overcomes many problems.

personally I would try the Beta version,

If that doesn't work. Uninstall it including the preferences.

Reinstall the latest Java by downloading the installer, not doing it over the net. (see http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...=fixes+working bearing in mind that this is an old thread)

Reinstall the Limewire and I hope this will work

Le us know if it helps (geting pro will NOT help)
