Hi,

I read the great advice from coffee, but I cannot find the compatabilty tab when i right click on the limewire shortcut on my desktop. I see the "run as administrator" but not the compbatability. I'm going nuts!!!! Please help!! Thanks so much everyone

Justine

Right-click it, hit properties, then at the top there are multiple tabs. One is Compatibility. A third of the way down the screen, on that tab, there is a box to check that says "run in compatibility mode" and then a drop down box of OS's to run it with. Just let it choose XP. That's how it worked for me anyway. Good luck.

haha i feel a little stupid, thanks for your help..im up and running!!!

This does not seem to work in windows xp!

Removed java & reinstalle java & limewire offline. Changed compatibility to windows 2k and everything worked fine.

thanks!

Yeah, I've tried the thing in the second post, I've tried to run as administrator, and I've tried everything I can think of. I'm using Vista Home Premium. Limewire's been working perfectly find, up until today. I tried to download something, and then LimeWire just quit. I then tried to re-open it, and it got stuck at 12%... Can someone help me?

Try this in this order...

I finally did it!! It was just easy I just run in compatibility mode like you people told too, and I was like "I have vista and im running things like xp wth" than i thought maybe I just try it again since it finally worked and I turned off the comp. mode to normal(vista) and it loads smooth.
Tyvm to you all.

Okay, I tried it again, and it works... But now, LimeWire opens upon start up, and when I exit, it just keeps popping up. I know there's something about this, and I tried that. I tried to uninstall LimeWire, but it said I needed to close LimeWire to uninstall, but it keeps opening. My uninstall screwed up, as I still have the folders and such, but when I try to click the, it says I can't find them. I tried to download BFU and everything, but before it gets done, it gets "Error '7': Out of Memory."
