Delete your preferences & reinstall your Java using the offline installer. Instructions here

See if this fixes it

1. Update your Java version 1.5 (take the JRE) using the "Offline" version or for some people 1.4.2 HERE (Choose the JRE) seems to behave better in certain circumstances. Downld the Java installer to your computer before installing by choosing the "Offlne" version. Don't install it over the net




what do you mean by not over the net!!???? isnt that what ur suppose to do to make it work???
sorry im just not good with this type of stuff on computers.. im on them alot but to fix them or w/e im not!!!

and i've had it for quite some time now!! its the first time its done this to me..i just used it like this week sometime ..wednesday i think it was!!!!

like you know when u go to open up ur limewire ..it loads and launches....well that's as far as it will go ..once it goes " launching" ...it freezes up ... and i tried waiting to see if it would work ....and i waiting for a good 15-20 minutes and it stayed the same.... uninstalled it ..and re-downloaded it 3 times ..and it did the same...

now im trying to use ares ..and its being REALLY slow.. .. like as if im not even connected to it..but i am

Did you delete your preferences??? Try updating your Java using the offline installer. LOTR knows what he's talking about

hahah good then

but one stupid question!! dont laugh lol

how do you delete the preferences...bc i downloaded that java thingy u said to do .. im just waiting on what ya meant by the " do not do it on the net? haha


argh..i wish i knew more about these things!!!

In the link I gave you, it tells you all about how to delete your preferences folder. After you've deleted the prefs, you might have to go through & re-set things (in tools > options) to the way you had them before.

one more question tho before i do this....
i deleted lime wire.... will all this still work even tho its deleted ??

Ummm...no. You can't delete the preferences if the program's not there!!!

Download LW again, using the offline installer as it says here

No need to delete your prefs yet, just install a new LW & see how it goes.

nopers.... did what ya just asked..and it didnt work !!! im becoming really stressed out with this i want to download music soo bad and i know limewire is the # 1 good one...

So it starts to launch & then freezes still?? Is it stuck on a particular page? Is the screen all grey or all white?
