I, too, have just run into the same problem as the person whom started this thread, KGUN - exact same thing. Uninstalling, reinstalling, upgrading... none of it works. It just won't start - 'freezes on the blank Laguages window... and in some instances, the process won't kill in TaskManager... it just stays running, and even prevents XP Pro from shutting down.

This is the only post I've found ANYWHERE about this problem. It appears LOTR seems not to take it too seriously, as if it'll take care of itsself with a few more installation attempts, and then reminds KGUN not to post on this issue twice. That really helps, LOTR.

I've re-installed both Java and Limewire about 10 times... No change.

I am using an NVIDIA GeForce 5600 Ultra 128mb video card with the latest drivers installed, so it has nothing to do with the "ATI Radeon series of drivers".

Serious issue... so it looks like I won't be using their product anytime soon. Their loss.

I don't take seriously? I don't get paid for helping out on the forum & I don't work for LW. But as a moderator I do enforce the Forum Rules (click here) I don't have to offer advice to anybody if I choose not to. There's plenty of other members & contributors.
Did you try setting your graphic card back to default to see if it makes any difference? NVIDIA I love sarcastic responses. Good luck to you!

So even after I had posted the links to both versions of Java earlier. You think ... you think it was worth saying what you said even when it solved your issue. Oh so no thanks.

in response to Pseizure2000's ATI radeon post: THANK YOU! i was experiencing this problem and it was frustrating the hell out of me. now everything is running. thanks.

I was having the same problem - stuck on the Language Options screen. Resetting my 3D settings (ATI X800) back to default solved the problem. Thanks all.
