Today I tried opening it and it stays stuck on the pop up that asks to upgrade to Limewire Pro? The one with Yes Later and stuff like that. I saw another thread like this that said to uninstall Java and reinstall...but that did not work!! PLEASE help me it would be VERY MUCH appreciated. |

![]() Did you install this version of Java (JRE offline installer) & remove any other Java versions before installing this one? Archive: Download Java 2 Platform Standard Edition (J2SE) 5.0 Update 11 Also try deleting LW's preferences folder when LW's properly closed. See point 3 here & also point 2 if you've used older versions of LW in the past (there could be a folder in either location). Fixes for LimeWire This will kill all of your settings within options, you'll have to go back through afterwards & reset things. If you're not sure of your settings, go through LW's tools > options & write them all down, so that you can reset things later. http://www.gnutellaforums.com/genera...der-vista.html If that doesn't help, try reinstalling LW. When you click to download LW & the dialog box pops up, cancel that...you'll see an option to download the offline installer ![]() |
