Default Enabling Open Information Sharing

Whenever I try to load limewire, it "loads", prompts me for an upgrade for pro, and when I answer, it goes to this tab that says " Enabling Open Information Sharing", and remains there forever....limewire NEVER opens...What's the deal?

I've tried reinstalling it, same thing, and nothing can help me on the faq's

Try deleting your preferences folder (make sure LW's completely closed first), instructions here

Have you tried uninstalling your Java, then reinstalling it with the offline installer? Try this if deleting prefs doesn't help. Links also within the thread.

Hi clev,

Have you tried any of the fixes in this thread? If not, start off with Java. Download the JRE offline installer of this version.
Archive: Download Java 2 Platform Standard Edition (J2SE) 5.0 Update 11
Remove any other Java versions before you install this version.

If that doesn't fix things, delete LW's preferences folder when LW's properly closed. See point 3 here & also point 2 if you've used much older versions of LW in the past (there could be a folder in either location).
Fixes for LimeWire
This will kill all of your settings within options, you'll have to go back through afterwards & reset things. If you're not sure of your settings, go through LW's tools > options & write them all down, so that you can reset things later

If LW's still not opening, try changing compatibility (point 5 in the fixes thread). If you're using Vista, run in compatibility mode for XP.
