Just so you know, I went back to an older version that LOTR sent me and the same thing happened. I'm also having trouble shutting it down. It used to put an icon in the system tray that you could right click on and hit "exit", now the icon doesn't appear. Definitely something that needs to be figured out.

Once you install the latest version, 4.12.3, you can not get the video preview or Help links functions to work again by installing the previous or earlier versions. Seems that 4.12.3 does something to the system that returning to earlier versions will not correct. When I reinstalled the earlier versions and started Limewire, it would initially show the earlier version number and then quickly show the 4.12.3 screen again. The program would try to function as an earlier version but be overridden by the latest. Major problem introduced by Limewire in their latest release. Hope they come up with a fix quickly.

Regarding the Video Preview and Internet Links found in the Help tab in version 4.12.3 not working, I sent an e-mail with specific information to technical support yesterday. Hopefully they will respond with some information regarding a fix or technical solution to help us soon. If they read these messages, they will get more good information to help them troubleshoot the problem.

Just to let everyone know regarding my post number 22, YES, I did totally uninstall the latest version and deleted the .limewire folder and reinstall the latest Java version before installing the earlier version of Limewire. Made no difference. The Video Preview and Help links still did not work.

Bro, tech support isn't gonna help you.. I've tried. I have the exact same problems and there advice was, uninstall and reinstall.. LW, Java, blah blah..
its pointless to email those losers

FOUND A SOLUTION!!!! Boot your computer up in Safe Mode and then install the latest version. Did that on my computer and now both the Video Preview and Help links work. Do not know why you need SM but it worked. Must be a driver or dll conflict. Happiness to all if it works for you.

Worked for me too! Thanks for the solution abj and thanks to everyone else for their input.

How about this http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...hlight=default
Does that fix it for anyone?

Lord of the Rings, I assume that your question "Does that fix it for anyone" relates to the Limewire video preview and internet links problem(s) with the Help function in the latest release. If my assumption is correct that your question relates to this problem, loading Limewire 4.12.3 using safe mode worked for me on two computers (xp pro & home) and solved both computers problems with 4.12.3. Looking at Trigger 5150 post, it worked for him also. Hopefully, it will work for all that have this specific problem. As to your "How about this link," looks like the problem stated there was taken care of by you. I'm sure Deltastorm appreciated your help.

Thank you abj!!!!!!!!! That solved every problem! The icon is back in the tray, the help and forums are working and preview is working!
