Yes, I didn't bookmark my personal pro download page.
That link (Lime Wire >> Support) goes to LM 5.
Please, I want to upgrade to 4 pro.
Thanks,
Alex.

I have bought the Limewire Pro 5.1.2 version for Windows Vista Home and every time I click on the icon on the desk-top, nothing happens. I have installed and uninstalled it until i'm blue in the face.
I've spent hours trying to get it to work. Its driving me nuts. I've wasted my money.
Tried everything is an understatement. Can anyone please help.

Thanx

Chris

Have you tried all the fixes here?: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/331559-post2.html

Have you used older LW in the past without any problems?

If you'd like to use LW 4 again, check out the info here: How do I find limewire 4?

Thanx for your advise but yes I have tried all the fixes on gnutella.

I have used LW in the past including 4 and didn't have a problem. It was there on my computer one day and gone the next. My partner had had to reboot the computer back to a previous date and thats when LW was lost from the pc.

I've tried downloading the 4 again, which is one that I also purchased legally but LW is now saying that my version is now expired and no longer available to update.

I'm just at a loss now and am now considering just uninstalling the one I've just bought and not bothering at all.

I've spent so many hours on here trhing to get it back on.......its unreal.

Hi Chris,

You can download LW 4.18.8 basic from the link in my first post - if you had bought Pro & your Pro benefits have expired then you wouldn't be able to download from your Pro personal download page.

But the free basic 4.18.8 is available for download by anyone Even if it's only the basic version, if you can get that to work then it'll be some indication of whether the problem's version related. And there's not much difference between Pro & basic anyway.

If you want to keep trying with LW then go for the basic. If you don't want to try any more then no worries

If your old LW was here one day & gone the next, maybe one of your security programs could be a problem. Some people have found that their antispyware program would (wrongly) pick LW as a threat & delete the .exe file. Which security apps do you use?

I will try to download version from your link again.

We use norton, but have even disabled that until i've downloaded LW but it still doesnt work.

Completely baffled, and I used LW all the time. I'm lost without it now.

Chris

I've tried downloading the Lw 4.18.8 and its still not working. Its installed in my add/remove programmes list, but when I click on the icon on the desktop, nothing is happening.

I've disabled norton, the windows firewall and defender is also off but still nothing ?????? hmmmm

Hey, I have the same problem going on here! I just uninstalled my limewire itself, because that's what it told me to do when I got the "error, you have a bug" thingy. And I installed that 5.1.3, or whatever it is, that new one? And it's still not working! I read all the things you guys suggested to do and I apparently have installed the new update for Java and stuff and my dad has no idea what to do... Don't tell him I said that!
I'm lost without my music and limewire won't even show up! What should I do?

First try this: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/window...tml#post183932

If that does not solve the problem, scroll back up to post #1 of that thread & see points #5 & 6 about changing compatibility mode & running as Admin.

If still problems, use this re-installation technique: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/333278-post2.html

However rather than LW 5.1.3, use this version: LimeWire 5.2.2 (Beta) - Lime Wire which is stable.

Warning, LW should not be uninstalled using the Add/Remove control panel. Method is via Start menu -> All Programs -> LW -> Uninstall. Else, re-installing LW will remove it at beginning of installation process.

ok i have recently downloaded limewire basic version 4 free "version 5.1.4" but it downloads everything then as i go to the limewire icon to start it. a msg appears saying "bug detected" i then have the options of sending the bug.. and i have sent this bug so many times but nothing has changed..and my limewire is still not working.
