Hmm I've heard of that problem before. Go to add/remove control panel & remove all earlier versions of Java & just leave the latest version. Then reboot. Download the "other" LW installer version & try that. Download ‘Other’ version & simply unzip & use!. If still issues, try the options here Fixes for Limewire

Not sure what you mean from your old computer. If you want to transfer your previous incomplete files, copy the entire incomplete folder from the ME machine & replace the new incomplete folder on the XP machine but ONLY whilst LW is closed & of course after you have successfully installed LW.

Please help! When I try to run LW I get to "loading user interface" then it just disappears - nothing! I've removed Java and LW and reinstalled using offline installer, but still the same problem! I am using an older version of LW (4.5) because when I try to use the newer versions I get a strange box appear under the LW loading screen (nothing recognizable in it). I am using Windows 98, and was able to use this version of LW previously, but it suddenly stopped loading. I was going to delete the .limewire folder as suggested by LOTR, but the post said to "save the information because it will be needed later" - what info. should I save, and where do I use it later? Thanks.

The info LOTR mention is about your previous LW configuration such as Language, Saved and Sgared folder, etc. Those details you usually apply in the process of a new LW installation. Just go ahead and don't worry about this information.

I still can't get LW to load! As I said, I reinstalled Java with offline installer, then I downloaded the "Other" version of LW and unzipped and installed that (after removing all traces of previous LW from my computer). Now I still have the same problem - LW gets to the "loading user interface" part, then just disappears. My computer is part of a network (mine is not the main computer) - could this be causing a problem? Also, the main computer and mine have Network Magic - could something from the main computer be preventing LW from loading on my computer? Any thoughts or suggestions would VERY appreciated! Thanks.

If you paid for LW and got 360Share then you got scammed. Read here:

Purchase LW only from the official site:

Default Lime Wire won't run

Hi, I installed Limewire without any error messages but when I click on songs from the list to download, nothing shows up in the box below where it usually tells you something about percentages for the songs. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling but itdoesn't run for me. Can anyonehelp? I'm using Windows XP on a laptop. Thanks
