Hey, I have the latest version of java installed and everytime I attempt to run Frostwire or Limewire 4.10.0 I get a fatal error that appears as soon as the splash screen loads. When I click the review buttion I get this...

Whenever I downgrade to java runtime environment 1.4.2_10 it all runs perfectly. Any suggestions?

Yeah just right click on frostwire and in compatability choose to run it as a windows 2000. will work just fine then.

Seems FW can't get access or the log4j file doesn't exist. Are you with 4.10.0-3? Do you have the file log4j.properties file in the FrostWire application folder?

Ciao

I did what both of you said and I still get a fatal error on startup. I changed the compatability of the frostwire.exe file to windows 2000 Picture Here and the log4j.properties file does exist. The only difference I can see in the error messages is that it now says I have windows 2000 v. 5.0 installed instead of windows xp.

FrostWire version 4.10.0
Java version 1.5.0_06 from Sun Microsystems Inc.

Any other suggestions? Thanks

Looks like theres something else on your computer java is intertwined with. cant make out exactly what tho.

The thing I dont understand is that whenever I install J2RE 1.4.2 everything is able to load, except I get an internal error every min or so within limewire. I'm not sure if I get the same error in frostwire. Thanks for all the help so far!
