i need someone to help me with lime wire this is the problem i took off lime wire 4.16 and put on lime wire 4.18 and now i can not download any music but lime wire says it is currently connecting to network,and it is still not connected yet, i want to know what to do.

Hi mariacarina43,

In the end, none of the recommendations listed either in this forum or at the Limewire forum were of any help to me, including a detailed email from the support tech's at Limewire.

I basically just scrubbed my o/s installation, reinstalled, updated to latest version of the Java runtime environment and then installed Limewire 4.18.3 from scratch. After all of this (a lot of work reinstalling all of my app's and utilities), Limewire then worked properly and has to this time.

Don't really know what went wrong as none of my other app's (including those written with Java in mind) displayed any kind of problem, and for that matter, neither did the earlier version of Limewire? I use Limewire a lot so it was important for me to get it going again, hence the 'clean install' of the o/s.

Maybe someone with a professional I.T. qualification can shed some light on what might have been happening. You may have to grit your teeth and do the same thing I did.... In the end it was the only thing that worked.

Cheers mariacarina43,
Dimal.

Dear Dimal,
Your car window got stuck: doesn't go up and doesn't come down.
So you decided, after much pondering, that you will open the engine and take it appart, also the transmission gears, all the electric wires, the seats inside, take down the doors, open them up and after 4 days of work you reassembled the 1200 parts of your car. Now the window works fine.
That's exactly what you did with LW.
If the answer of LW technical support wasn't satisfactory, you keep pounding on them until your problem is solved.
A shame of the waisted time and efforts, theirs and yours.
