Limewire Is Curropted in a WEIRD WAY! HELP!

[sixthcrusifix]

Limewire worked fine yesterday, except I could ONLY download really REALLY popular songs that had like a million people with teh same file. Everythign else was just qued forever and ever and needed more sources (I did change the pop-up thing so it asked me for a liscence and that's how i was able to download anything at all)

But now, the mouse doesn't do a damn thing anymore. I can type in a search and press enter and it will do a search, but the mouse won't actually click on anything, I just see teh mouseovers of the buttons etc.

What's going on? I didn't change anything at all....

No clue but you will need to provide a bit more detail like: where did you download Limewire from & what java version you have installed, what OS you have and your system specs please? and, make sure you are connected fully to the internet while downloading from Limewire. Also, you might want to browse the forum stickys for they have lots of useful info in them.

On the licence thing, you might want to turn that off, not on, for downloading or else you won't be able to dl much from Gnutella.

Actually I had to turn the liscence pop-up ON or I (suddenly) Couldn't download anything at all.




Windows XP (home/sp2)
Latest JAVA (5.0)
Perfect Internet Connection (250 Kb/s DSL)
1.5 GB DDR RAM
2.3 Ghz Anthalon 3000 Processor
160 GB HD
Downloaded LimeWire 4.10.9 from limewire.com (Official Website).


I have looked trhough teh forum stickys but to no avail so far.

I don't get it, limewire was working perfectly fine and then 2 weeks ago I just couldn't download anything at all. THEN when I turned on the liscencing pop-up so that I could choose "download anyway" for each download I was able to download Willie Neilson's new song and then nothing after that and now the mouse won't do a darn thing.

Have you tried uninstalling Limewire completely, and then reinstalling it ? Uninstall everything, delete the Limewire folder after uninstall + the preference folder + the incomplete folder

Remember to close down Limewire comletely, before uninstalling

Use the offline installer from Limewire

You will find the preference folder under:

C:/Documents And Settings/(username*)/.limewire

incomplete folder:

C:/Documents And Settings/(username*)/incomplete

* username being your username

A folder called Limewire will be in programfiles (probably empty, but delete it anyway)


Also there might be a problem with your java, try to reinstall it too, use the offline installer

Get it here:

Java JRE 1.5 update 6

Uninstall all previous versions before installing. Use add/remove programs

Hope this helps Remember to post back if it works or not, as this is a new problem
