THANKS IN ADVANCE
JMAC

Try uninstalling limewire via Start > All programs > Limewire/Uninstaller..
Don't use the Add/Remove programs to do this....

Use your computer's search to look for all files & folders with limewire in the name. If you can't delete them, reboot into safe mode & then try. If they still won't delete, try one of the tools here...
Incomplete Download File won't delete at all.


Then re-install limewire using the offline installer...To find the offline installer, use the link below > cancel the installer window when it pop's up and then select the offline installer link...
Lime Wire » Download LimeWire

If limewire still wont start up for you once you have the new install try uninstalling all versions of Java from the add/remove programs and then re-install the JRE 5.11 offline version....
Archive: Download Java 2 Platform Standard Edition (J2SE) 5.0 Update 11

Let me know how you go with those steps...

HI! new here me too, i cant pen limewire because of this installation. HELP

Please help
Last night I went to use limewire, and It kept coming up with a box that said corrupted and a bunch of computer lingo. anyway it says try reinstalling which I did and now i cant download pro. it keeps telling me It has expired and it hasent because I just purchased pro last month, so why do I need to pay again. I emailed suppot and all they say is download it again. well hello I tried telling them 100 times i did but it wants me to repurchase pro again. so what do I do to get pro back with out paying again, cause Im not doing that

Are you using your personal download page to re-install your Pro ??

I'm having the same problem that "Is this name taken" is having except I have never been able to get limewire and I have had my computer for about 4 years. I asked my 18 year old nephew to help me today and he could not get it either. Please help me. I think that I need to tell you that I don't now anything about computers and would need to be guilded thru everything. Do I take firewall off and etc.... these are the things that I don't understand. Also where do I get the answers to my questions? Why is this so hard? Thank You

Sorry, I'm a bit confused...so when you try to install LW, you get the message that there's an older version of LW running (that's what happened to 'is this username taken?')?? But you've never had LW installed on your computer?

Or are you having problems with where your downloads are being saved (that was another problem that 'is this username taken?' had)?? Can you tell us exactly what's going wrong??
