I tried the windows NT and 2000 thing. Windows just tells me it experienced an error and had to close limewire and is checking for a solution and so on.
Hey i dont know how closely you work with the developers but are they working on a fix or a new release of some kind?
And brisbane's a nice place I pass through there on occassion.

Glad that I haven't stepped into this nice conversation at an earlier stage........guess I would have had to borrow the buttered broomstick of our fellow friend Peerless.........well, never mind...

Here is my 5-cent-worth...

Sometimes one has to do a real hardcore clean cut (i.e. uninstall) of limewire due to some registry conflicts (as I have already experienced).

So, my suggestion would be:

LimeWire uninstall via START>Program>LimeWire>Uninstall
Then restart of the computer followed by a search of all remaining folders (including the Preference Folder& the Complete/Incomplete Folder) via START>Search for Files and Folders using the search query " limewire "

Then one should go to START>Run and type " regedit ". In the opening window one should use the search for all registry entries referring to LimeWire by using the same search query.
Afterwards a restart of the computer is advisable.....

Next step would be to uninstall Java (all present versions) via START>Control Panel>Add/Remove Programs.
Another restart after that is required.

From that point on one should have the off-line installer of both LW and the desired Java version as JRE (5.11 would be fine I guess) handy.

Firstly install the Java in safe mode and restart the computer.
Secondly install LW also in safe mode and restart again...

Cheers
FOTH

Uninstall all versions of Java 6. (Any version of Java 5 is fine, it seems).

THIS IS THE PROBLEM.

And we just have to wait until the developers come out with a solution.

tryed it with all settings (exept 95) and nothing good happened.

i uninsttalled java 6 update 3 and installed java 5 update 11. now it says i dont have java. i did reboot, like it said.

Did you uninstall all Java versions you had from the add/remove programs ??

yes, i uninstalled all versions of java before installing the 5.11 . well i'm not sure what this means but in linux (ubuntu). lime wire is working to perfection (well almost). its not my router i think we can establish that.

why is image shack blocked. ill be looking in to that my self.
here is the image

It was commonly used by spammers/trolls to post filthy pics on forums, thus we felt it wiser to ban the site from here. There are hundreds of other host sites.

I see nothing wrong with the image shown, is that your linux version? Other than sharing zero files I see nothing abnormal off-hand.

BTW don't use same port to connect as any other computers or your linux LW else your router will probably block it out.

I'd recommend setting up a test account, a virgin account that has never been used before. Then try using LW in that one.

well i guess that's giving up till next version.

all links will now be obsolete.

something extremely odd happened about a month ago. so i was doi LIMEWIRE STARTED for no apperent reason. i had no clue what had happened in the last 2 weeks i hadn't tryed to open it. i erased vista and installed it again since i had to change my motherboard because it went a bust. and now i cant start it. ima gonna try to do what the roxio representative told me to do once. start vista in diagnostic mode. tell you if a iget any good results.
