Windows Service Pack 3

I am not new to Limewire but I am new to the forum, greeting to all !!

I just downloaded SP3 and now Limewire won't work. I uninstlled it, reinstalled it and even installed an older version and I get nothing. Any ideas? Thanks for your help.

Try removing LW from the firewall exceptions & re-adding it.

I will do that but since the SP3 update the program won't even run.

Any error messages?

None. It is like the program is not there. Unistalled it, reinstalled it, won't work. I can't figure it out.

Any suggestions, at this stage and without examining the PC, would be a wild guess. Therefore, here goes nothing:-

If you really must use Limewire then uninstall SP3 and go back to SP2, but only as a last resort.

I personally would not take this course of action because I believe the extra protection and fixes you get from SP3 far outweighs any short term gains you would get from using LW.

try reinstalling/updating Java...

and I'm hoping you got SP3 directly from M$

This happened to me after I installed SP3 from Microsoft last week and after "Lord of the Rings" suggested I replace the Gnutella.net file in "User name\App data\Roaming\Limewire" everything worked properly.
You can get a new copy of gnutella.net by following the forum, "Technical Support", "Connection problems",from the beginning when you first start to look into all these forums. In there you should see, "If Limewire will not connnect",then look for, "delete/replace Gnutella.net file" and follow the instructions to download a new copy. (To get the "Apps Data" folder to appear you will have to go into the "Control Panel" and select the "Folder Options" section, and in the view section of that go to the section where it says "show hidden files and folders"). After this you should be able to go back into "User name\App data\Roaming\Limewire" (as shown above) and you should see Gnutella.net and be able to cut and replace the old one with the one you have downloaded into where it belongs.
Good luck!
