Hello,
I had a old version of limewire, maybe 4.0, and for some stupid reason decided to try upgrading to 4.9. Well not only did it delete all my old files, but now I can't even get anything. It's saying I have a error with an older version already opened. I'm getting this error message. Can someone please HELP

LimeWire version 4.8.1
Java version 1.5.0_04 from Sun Microsystems Inc.
Windows XP v. 5.1 on x86
Free/total memory: 3553808/4128768

Did you install it over and older version? If so, you might have to delete everything again and do a fresh install.

sphnix,
I believe so, how would I go about performing that action? I can't even find Limewire in any of my programs for add/remove programs?

ok, in windows, go to control panel, then to add remove, in your add remove, it should be there. Uninstall it and try to cleanout any traces of an old install. if its not in your add remove, is it in your start programs???

it's in neither my add/remove or start menu. However I do see something under start, my recent programs, called LimewireOSX

hmm, ok, that might be it, will it allow you to uninstall it?

i don't think so, there's nothing that resembles limewire in my add/remove.... on my error message it mentions something about it being on my program tray

ok, i found a folder under the C drive called Limewire. I tried deleting it and it said

'cannot delete clink.jar; it is being used by another person or program. Close any programs that might by using the file and try again.

no it's just a folder, it seems like it's not a program that installed just a folder with a lot of different files under it when I click on it. Should I rebot then try to delete the file into the recycle bin?

ok, i didn't find any leftover files, i looked everywhere
