Go to the LW program folder & see if you can open LW directly. If yes, then it looks like the shortcuts need replacing. If not, try uninstalling Java using the Add/Remove control panel. Then reinstall but 1st downld the Java installer to your comp (don't install over the net!) With any luck this will fix it. A link to Java can be obtained from this link: Fixes for Limewire |

unable to get limewire to work and ALL music files are gone Hello, I am using windows xp limewire 4.10. the icon has changed to a plain windows icon. I no longer have limewire on the computer it has also disappeared along with ALL my music files of about 4 years. I have uninstalled and reinstalled limewire. I don't have the ati adapter and no longer have java on the computer as well. Please advise on how to fix this situation. Thank you |

My first thought would be a virus... do you run AV scans regularly? Have you checked to see whether your saved folder is still around (by default it's C:/Documents and Settings/your name/Shared) or used the computer's search to look for some of your music files? You could try reinstalling Java (use the offline installer) http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp then reinstall LW using it's offline installer http://www.limewire.com/english/content/download.shtml If things are still screwed I'd suggest going to Norbiesworld & getting him to check out your computer. If you go to his site & register, follow the directions for free computer help & post a Hijackthis log, he'll be able to tell you if you have a virus problem. It's all free.
