yes!!!!!, thankyou very much!!!!!!

mmm, now i keep getting an error message saying to set my incoming listening port???

i left it set at 6346, should i try another port??

This is not even funny, but I am chuckling anyways... All this hassle for what? An error message? :-)

Can you connect to the network at all? If so, there isn't anything to be overly concerned about- UNLESS the error changes to something different.

If you are not able to connect to the network at all (make sure first), then... congratulations! Your system doesn't like the new java inplementation LimeWire uses, and now you have to download an alternate version! Aren't you excited?! [Groaning from reader. "Not another download."] I'm sorry you're having to go through so much just to get LimeWire running. What a hassle!

Try this one out.

The LimeWire team released it for people who are having connection problems.

I couldn't run Limewire, either!! My BF got mad at me saying I screwed the computer...well, I'm glad to be able to prove I didn't!

I uninstalled both Limewire (1.6b) and Java Runtime (also made sure all the files were gone by using Windows Explore), and downloaded Limewire and Java Runtime (from Sun HP). Installed Runtime first, then Limewire. Well, then, it worked finally!

It seems to me that we just have to keep trying...untill it works!

I'm using English WinMe and Japanese WinMe with 2 different HDs (dual boot with "Boot Magic"), and this makes installing or uninstalling very complicated sometimes. And, of course, if anything wrong happens to the computer, that must be my fault! Non sense! I'm really happy to have come here and got some help for this "common problem" which everybody has experienced. I greatly appreciated!

Good luck, guys. Keep looking for some help and keep trying! You'll get there for sure.

Thank you trustarwarrior that TARGET worked and now my limewire is running!!!!!

I've tried all of this, none of it works! I don't even have a c:\program files\javasoft folder. When i tried to uninstall it, it said it was missing a file and cancelled. Re-installing didn't work, and my javaw.exe was never in the windows/system directory, it was always in windows/ . Please help!!!!

On a Win 98 machine, javaw.exe should be in C:\WINDOWS. Did you try changing the shortcut target?

Hi,

Im a new user of Limewire and I have tried EVERYTHING on this post and nothing is working?? I can't figure out what is going on....... Can someone help???

Please explain when and where the problem occurs. Does the software install? Does it launch? Does it connect? Are you behind a firewall? Are you accessing the internet in a college dorm or similar location?

sorry for lack of info..... It installs fine, it is when i click on the icon, it loads the splash screen and then nothing... I am at home on a Gateway computer. I have tried ALL of the other targets, and it still dont work.......

and yes i have the Java 1.3.1 installed.
