My limewire was working fine and just a few days ago i tried opening it but it starts to open then dissappears. I've uninstalled and reinstalled and same thing. I've turned off my firewalls and nothing. Any help?

Default 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

Delete your LW preferences folder. Instructions here
http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=36420
(you'll have to redo your settings within tools > options afterwards, so if you're not sure of your settings make a note of them).

Uninstall Java & reinstall using the offline installer. Instructions also in the above thread.
Or, you can try the Java 1.6 (JRE) beta here

Please don't post onto a totally unrelated thread!!

Yes, it's possible to download albums. Use the search (top, next to quick links) & look for 'albumwrap', 'download complete album' etc. Or go into the Open Discussion section & you'll find a sticky about downloading complete albums.

Default Also cannot connect

I've attempted most of these repairs, but my Limewire will not connect. I have uninstalled and re-installed Limewire, but it does not help.

Help!
