Limewire just wouldn't function, so I installed Morpheous. I have no problems now. Thanks.

Jeez i hope i wont have to use a different program but i guess i might have to :(

Ok bye then! Good luck. Obviously LW doesn't work on your systems. That can happen with some progs. Just like morheus refuses to work on my system. No great loss. lol :D

BTW I think you missed my last point in my last post. After moving up to LW 4.10 & having deleted your LW prefs folder once, your new prefs will no longer be called .limewire & will be found in a new location. But of course you tried that didn't you. I was just a little curious how you gave up after only deleting the .limewire folder which belonged to your previous version. lol :D

this is killing me. I have done all the steps listed. Java, unloading re loading both programs etc. I don't want to give up! I want to use this program as I have enjoyed it in the past! Now it won't work :(...

Please will a kind soul please help me figure this out?

you will get great karma for the weekend! :)

1994Canucks,
Is the blank screen your only prob? Did you follow stief's advice about a stack trace (in the other thread you posted to):

http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...347#post185347

Think carefully about whether you've tried all fixes from this thread and the one above.

Good luck

How To Get Stack Traces
"Stack Traces are debugging information you can get LimeWire that is very helpful in tracking various bugs. If you are reporting a problem with the LimeWire beta series, you may be asked at one point or another to help us by providing such Stack Trace. Here are instructions how to get those:


On Windows:

1. Download www.limewire.org/LimeWireDebug.exe and save it in C:\Program Files\LimeWire (or wherever you installed LimeWire)
2. Start LimeWire by opening a dos prompt and typing

code:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------LimeWireDebug.exe >> stdout.txt--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3. Whenever you want to get a stack trace, switch to the dos box where you typed the above, and hit Ctrl-Break.
4. Close limewire and send us or post the stdout.txt file.
"

I download it to the folder but am unable to load LimeWireDebug.exe>> stdour.txt

I must be doing something wrong??

Ok whatever you're doing wrong, I'm doin' it too!! Think it's time for the gurus to come & help out:eek:

Be patient & hopefully someone will come to your rescue. Sorry I couldn't help!

1994Canucks January 11th, 2006 11:51 PM

Thanks for trying... I still want this to work...

1994Canucks January 12th, 2006 08:56 AM

Fixed!!!! So happy. Took a couple hours though.

What I ended up doing was doing an offline download of the old java 1.4

And the old limewire.

And erased the setting profile of my username.

I then upgraded lw once i saw that the old one worked!

Hope that helps someone.
