Here's what I've done:

1. I had 3.4.7 installed. Tried to uninstall it but it failed part way through.
2. Manually uninstalled 3.4.7 by deleting the files, folders and reg keys and values.
3. Uninstalled previous JRE and installed 1.4.2. Installed fine.
4. Tried installing 3.6.15 but it refused because it claimed 3.4.7 was still installed. Rechecked my work and found a few stray items belonging to 3.4.7. Removed the items.
5. Tried installing 3.6.15 again but no matter what I tried it would always fail part way through the file copy.
6. Read FAQs and found that I could try installing multilingual version which uses a different installer.
7. Downloaded and installed multilingual version. Installed fine.
8. Restarted computer.
9. Tried launching 3.6.15 by clicking the desktop icon. Screen goes completely black for 3-4 seconds and then returns to normal. But application doesn't start. Checked running tasks and it's not there so I assum it is not running. It's as if the app wants to start but can't.

I'm running Win98 SE on an AMD PC. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Joe

I used LW 3.1.0 and Java 2 SE V. 1.3.1_02 on Win98SE. I didn't uninstall LW old version but went straight to upgrade to 3.6.15. After install, 2 LW icons showed on desktop. Click both but can't
run because of an error of javaw.exe. I uninstalled LW and downloaded Windows (International) as guided by Support. Nothing works.

http://www.limewire.com/english/cont...loadfree.shtml stated it runs with J2SE V. 1.4.2. So I uninstalled Java2 V. 1.3.1 and installed V. 1.4.2. The same error of javaw.exe occurred.

Finally, I uninstalled LW & Java but only installed LW Window (English Only). It detected my pc doesn't have any Java. After installing LW, LW automatically started installing J2SE V. 1.3.1_04. I got puzzled with the inconsistent info on LW web page (LW stated it needs J2SE V. 1.4.2). After finishing both installation provided by LW, I could finally open LW and downloaded something.

But there are still bugs or strange things happened. Firstly, whenever open LW, the first screen pops up that there is an internal error and LW will recover operation soon. Also it asked me to report the bugs by clicking ¡§Send¡¨. Secondly, the ¡§Options¡¨ page cannot see the 3 full buttons of ¡§Ok / Cancel / Help¡¨ but just a thin line which I could still opt for my choice.

I Hope the info will help u guys.
