![]() Try deleting your preferences folder (make sure LW's completely closed first), instructions here http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=36420 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 ![]() http://www.gnutellaforums.com/genera...der-vista.html 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. |
