Unhappy 4.8.0 has the same finalization problem as earlier ones?

Well I have had fine installations before and nothing was wrong. I tried to install the newest and frooze after running the finishing box. I have tried to download from everysite and place I can think of. The freezing then stops everything and I have to do some magic to get my computre back. CAN ANYONE HELP! PLEASE!

(Pardon my english, not one of my stronger languages)

You can use the 'Other' download which will download a zipped version of LimeWire. It doesn't have any installation steps.

Where else did you try to download from? Have you checked your system thru with a maintenance check. Clean your Registry: if you don't have such a utility you can pick one up here: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=34102

Download the newest version of Limewire (LW) & SAVE it to your hard disk drive! (DO not install over the net!) Now reboot your computer (a pain I know but just try it!) Now install LW. But don't have any other programs or net programs running whilst you're installing LW. It needs 100% of your CPU's concentration. If that doesn't work then do a SAFE Boot & try installing it then if possible.

When you say the zip file didn't work, what exactly do you mean? There's nothing about it to not work. You download, unzip, and run.

Can you explain what you mean by "did not run"? What, exactly, did you do to run LimeWire, and what, exactly, happened after you did it?

well I open the extracted file and clicked the Icon and it worked the first time. Second time I tried nothing at all. I found older installation packets of Limewire and am running thAT for the time being. Before when they had the regular installion pack.
