limewire quits before it even starts!!!

[Snakechild]

Everytime I run limewire it gets to saying "loading options window" and than quits, an "unexpected quit" window pops up etc. I just got version 3.8.4 and have java 1.4.2 (both newest versions), other java apps work and I can't think of anything else to do! help!!!

Sorry I can't help, but I have the same problem. My Limewire under Panther started crashing immediately on launch, notably after I had done some messing with system files / permissions stuff to sort out a completely un related problem. I will try and do some tinkering to fix it, if unsuccessful I will note down the error number that comes up and do some investigating. I'll keep you posted.

a clean install should help (search for "limew" to find the prefs), and you can also try Jens-Uwe Mager's free CVS build that uses a different installer. http://www.mager.org/LimeWire/LimeWire.html

A while back, turning off the show Tip of the Day on Startup in preferences helped. Maybe turning off all prefs re automatic startup will help again.

none of that worked for me =(... I just bought LimeWire Pro and now it was for pretty much no reason.

Didn't work for you? Ask for Pro support http://www.limewire.com/english/cont...pportpro.shtml
