Hey, limewire has been working great for me for about a year now but then today i try to use it and it says its encountered an error and asks me if i want to send/review/discard...it says that this can be fixed by redownloading and reinstalling limewire which i did, and still get the same error. The error occurs after i double click the limewire icon.

It may well be a Java problem then. Uninstall Java & reinstall. Save the Java installer to your comp 1st. Don't install over the net.

If this doesn't fix it, try deleting your LW Preferences folder whilst LW is closed; instructions here: Fixes for Limewire

Thanks for your help, i'll try both of these things.

I tried running it in compatibility mode for windows 2000 and that fixed it. (It didn't work after i unistnalled java, redownloading and reinstalled it.)

Oh and deleteing .limewire didnt work either.

thanks for your help, i really appreciate it.

I have to say i wouldnt of thought of making it windows 2000 compatable would fix the java problem. I uninstalled and reinstalled java and limewire several times trying to get it to work and still nothing. Then i came across this post and it was the answer to all my questions. Thank you very much for posting this so all could read it. It is very much appreciated

Blessed Be,
