Hi,

The Limewire application launches successfully, but then crashes soon after - usually within seconds. NO ERRORS are reported and the PC does not crash.

I've loaded Limewire version 2.9.8 with Java2TM Runtime Environment, v. 1.3.1 (JRE). Installation went smoothly.

I am running Windows 2000 Pro with all the latest patches, service packs and Internet Explorer 6 (everything required, as of 2nd APRIL 2003).

I have checked Event Viewer, but no information is reported there.

I loaded the U.S. version of Limewire (3.9MB installer), rather than the International version (13.0MB), although I'm in the UK.

I have a Firewall, but I don't think it's relevant, as I experience the problem even if the firewall is disabled. My internet connection (ADSL) is also fine.

I've seen a number of other reports of this problem on the forum, but no definitive solution.

I've tried un-installing and then re-installing Limewire (with re-boot in-between), but it made no difference.

Can anyone advise what might be causing this issue?
Thanks.
