can't load limewire
 

limewire has always worked fine for me, but then one day it just stopped working. when I click the shortcut nothing happens at all.

I read teh FAQs and it said to make sure I had an internet connection but I have cable so it doesn't matter.

I have uninstalled it, downloaded it and reinstalled it like 3 times but still nothing happens.

does anyone know how to help me please?!

HI...

Obviously your connection works or you wouldn't be here ! ;)

Please tell more about your setup...
What Operating System you are using and what version of LimeWire you were using before - and if you changed that version in the process of trying to re-install.
Also, don't forget to mention any other software (whatever the type may be) that you may have installed either before the original problem with LimeWire, or after...

It sounds as if it may be a problem with files and/or registry settings not being cleared properly, but this only relates to your problems of re-installing... Not whatever may have caused the original failure to run problem.

The more info from you the better, OK ?

I am running windows XP

I have limewire v3.8.6 right now but I dunno if that's what I had before or not.

the only thing that I can think of is that I uninstalled Java 2 Runtime enviroment because I got a new version...and I think limewire uses that.

Java seems to be the problem... Go to http://javashoplm.sun.com/ECom/docs/...actionId=noreg and install it (it is java 1.4.2).

Bonne chance

thanks, it worked
