Excellent! I'm not sure why I didn't suggest this earlier. But good news!

NO!

It worked for a while again, and now it stopped once AGAIN!

Problem is, I don't have a .limewire folder any more. I re-installed it on D:, instead of C:, and it worked for a while when I deleted the old .limewire folder, but now I can't find the folder at all!

*Blank stare*

This is freaking me out.. =/

If you're still logged into the same account & the account is in the same location then the LW prefs will be in the same location. Each time you open LW & make any settings, a .limewire prefs folder will be created. Search all drives for .limewire

BTW which skin are you using? If you changed LW's skin there may be an issue with your skin V's system perhaps. Change back to the default skin.

I use the (Downloaded) Black Skin, yet the problem appears with all skins (I tried). I also couldn't find a .limewire folder anywhere on my computer.

Go to start/search/all files and folders. Type .limewire into the box then click on search.

Before you delete the .limewire folder switch back to the default screen and do not change it after you start limewire again.

I did that and it said it couldn't find it.

It is not there. You guys think re-installing will help?

You will need to install Java and LimeWire manually First go to the first link.You can find Links to java in there Download Java to your hard drive by putting a mark in the save to disc box. Save it to my documents or wherever you save downloads from the internet. Do the same with LimeWire the second link will take you there.

Now with that done click on start then control panel add/remove programs and see if Java is listed on the list if it is uninstall it. Do the same with LimeWire if the un installers were not loaded you may have to manually delete the files. But in most cases this is not necessary.

Now click on the Java installer you saved to your hard drive and follow the instructions after you have completed that do the same with LimeWire.

Please post back and let us know if it worked. If it did not I will give further instructions on manually deleting Java and LimeWire.

I did all that. It did not work.

Right after finishin the LW Installation I said "Start LimeWire now" and it did, opening in my downloaded Black Skin. I then typed in a search and it failed, showing the same gray searching screen you all know off.

I have a Registry Cleaner. Should I use it and try again (and again, and again, and again..?)

My guess is the black screen is causing the problem try following the instructions below first after you uninstall LimeWire and Java go to C:/Program Files and see if there is a file named LimeWire in there if there is delete it. Then go to the instructions below


First uninstall Java and LimeWire if you can then follow the instructions below.

You will need to go to Start/Run type regedit into the box this will open the registry editor

Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER go to software expand it look for Java Script if you find it delete it. Now collapse it.

Now go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE go to software expand it look for Java, LimeWire & Magnet delete them if you find them.Collapse it

Now go to HKEY_USERS go to S-1-5-21 the first one then go to software expand it look for java if you find it delete it. Collapse it. Close registry editor now go back to the original instructions and manually install Java then LimeWire.

Be careful when you are in the registry do not delete anything other than I listed above you can mess up your machine if you accidentally uninstall something or change your registry settings
