Hello I need help. We just bought a computer and installed limewire on it. It has been working for about 2 months. after not using for a couple of days, we tried to get on it and after we double clicked the icon, the window would come up and when the little notice box comes up to ask to update to pro it just freezes. I try to close the box and does not work. Everything else works, start menu, internet, but clicking anywhere on the limewire window it does nothing. then i have to ctrl alt delete and end task. please help me!!!!!!!

sorry i forgot to say we are running windows vista too.

I would uninstall limewire then go to limewire.com and reinstall it did limewire do it before or did it work fine?

well we had trouble when we first installed because of the firewall stuff but this problem hasnt happened before.

sorry, i forgot to ad that it works fine on my laptop fine except for not connecting sometimes.

i hade the same problems downloding things back onto my computer i would just go to control panel< add and remove programs and uninstall it i think it helps to not have anything runing at the time besids your enternet explorer i dont know about windows vista yet.

Uninstalling via add/remove programs can cause problems & people end up having to search their computer to remove leftovers. The correct way to remove LW is either to install a new version (automatically removes the old one) or start > all programs > limewire & use the uninstall option from there

I was going to say it could be your firewall blocking it but it opens but im not sure it might be getting blocked.

well i'll give that uninstall and reinstall thing a try. thanks for the help.

my problem is exactly as you describe...... see [U******zing [/U]under topic CONNECTION PROBLEMS i tried the java fix posted there no luck nor with the preferences fix
