Thank you so very much! I was going mildly insane trying to get it to work. Vista may be pretty, but it's driving me batty :/

I've been looking all over these forums and keep ending up back at square 1.

When I have limewire installed, it opens constantly. As soon as I close it, it opens again. From what I've found- looking up the problem online- it says I have a worm, and the reason it keeps opening on it's own is because it wants ppl to d/l things from me, and get the worm as well. No matter how many suggestions I've tried - spybot, etc virus protection things to remove the worm, none of them find it.

So I keep uninstalling limewire. But when I do that, it continues to try to open it, and gives me java errors etc, because something keeps trying to open LimeWire, but it realizes it's not there to open.

I need help!!!! There has to be a worm on my pc, it makes sense.

I have vista so some replies to these questions don't work as well for me..

HELPPPP!

Here's how we BOTH fixed this problem.... this may only apply to vista machines tho... sorry

We changed the shortcut to and the limewire.exe file itself both to compatibility with windows XP sp2 by left-clicking the icons and going under the compatibility tab.

Then we left clicked the shortcut and chose "run as administrator"

after doing this the program hung up at 19% and said something about a "save folder" being damaged or missing. after hitting the "OK" button on this dialog box another dialog box came up asking us to choose a folder to stand in for the "missing or damaged" saved folder...

We simply created a folder named "saved" and this solved the problem....

Try this in this order...
Try uninstalling all versions of Java from the add/remove programs and then re-install the JRE 5.11 offline version....
Archive: Download Java 2 Platform Standard Edition (J2SE) 5.0 Update 11

Then uninstall Limewire using the uninstaller which is found in start > all programs > limewire...then re-install it using the offline installer...To find the offline installer, use the link below > cancel the installer window when it pop's up and then select the offline installer link...
Lime Wire » Download LimeWire

If that does not help with your problem try deleting your preference folder/s...This will reset your configurations back to default and get rid of any corruption that may of happened...
