Confused Limewire On Computer Start Up

Whenever I turn on my computer Limewire starts up automatically. I don't want this. I was mucking around in Limewire options the other day trying to sort an unrelated problem and may have checked (or unchecked) a box I shouldn't have.
So I'm looking to start my computer without Limewire starting up as well.

Go to LW's menu bar, Tools -> Options -> Advamced, System .. Startup & Shutdown. Uncheck option for Run LW on System Startup.

If using Mac OSX, you may also need to go to System Prefs -> Accounts -> Login & remove any LW item listed.

Thanks. Although I'm quite sure I've already tried that and it didn't work. Maybe I'm mistaken. I'll try again. I'll get back to you.

I don't have the latest version of Limewire. I have Limewire Pro version 4.18.6. I don't even see anything with the word 'Menu' on my version of Limewire.

I think runt66 meant LW 4's File menu.

LW 5 has no such connect or disconnect option.

Is your LW losing connection after startup, or does LW not connect at all?

If LW doesn't connect at all, try the tips here (click on link): If LW 5 Will Not Connect
If nothing there helps then post back with your system details.


If LW loses connection after startup, in LW go tools > options > advanced > performance. Disable connnecting to DHT, disable ultrapeer capabilities, disable TLS > ok.

If you have multiple downloads in progress, pause some of the downloads or even cancel some if you feel that you can sacrifice them (if they've been sitting there for ages & not finding sources). Cancelling a download will remove it completely & you won't be able to resume a cancelled download.

If you're sharing a huge number of files, reduce the number of shared files.

Try limiting your upload & download bandwidth a bit... tools > options > transfers. Click on the Upload/Download Limits 'Settings' button to configure bandwidth settings. Click ok to save any changes.

Try updating your Java (or reinstalling, if you already have the latest update): Java Downloads for All Operating Systems - Sun Microsystems

Download the JRE offline installer & remove any other Java versions (via Control Panel) before installing this one. Restart your computer after installing the new Java.

If none of that helps then post back with your system details.
