Limewire=Never Opens
 

im way confused I haven't did anything new to my comp accept changed mouses, I also moved around my IPOD adapter I put them in the front of my comp where I have to USB ports instead of the ones in the back. That's it im using Windows XP. I click to open Limewire and the logo comes up and it gets all the way to"Loading Library Window"and then like usual the logo disappears, but the program never opens. I don't know what to do it usually works just fine. :confused: Am I doing something wrong Iam dearly sorry if this issue has already been answered in another post please help me

1. Try deleting your LW Preferences folder whilst LW is closed; instructions here: Point #2 & 3 in Fixes for Limewire (sample image included at bottom of page.)

2. If that doesn't do the trick, remove your java using the Add/remove programs control panel. Then, reinstall Java but only using the "Offline" installer which is about 18 MB in size; Java 1.5 (take the JRE)

Still not working
 

Im trying to search for the .limewire file in my comp, the box keeps on closing. This is so annoying Lol, I tried the first 2 options but not they didnt work

oh yeah...
 

I even deleted limewire restarted my comp and re installed it, its still not working.

I'm not sure why you're having this problem then. I'd have thought it was the Java or preferences being the issue. Try changing the compatibility of LW to Win 2000 & also try NT & see if that makes any difference. To see how to do it, see step 5 in the Fixes for Limewire link above. Also delete your LW preferences again before you re-open it should there be any (probably won't be.)

The only other thing I could think of would be to try the Java 1.6 beta http://java.sun.com/javase/6/ (choose the JRE) & use the 19 MB "Offline" installer to downld.

solution
 

I had the same problem, where limewire starts to open as usual (the window shows up saying 'loading library...etc.' and then nothing. at the same time i had a problem with one of my folders where my computer would get the windows error msg every time i click on that folder...i narrowed it down to the specific folder "incomplete" that is automatically made with limewire... so i just renamed that "incomplete" folder to somethin random and then deleted it!... my limewire worked just fine after that... also LW just makes another folder called 'incomplete' after u delete the 'corrupted' one so it's ok.. i guess. well try that and see if it works... it did for me.
let me know how it turns out... good luck
