It lasts anormally at the begining so I have to wait meanwhile software squezing, in fact appears an error warning after starting so it´s impossible to share anything

Hello. Well I have good news and bad news. The good news is that with this fix that Skyliner showed me, I don't get the "splittet files" message anymore, and limewire finally installs.

The bad news and the problem now is that when I try to run Limewire I get the message shown in the picture below.

So, I finally installed it, but I still can't even run LW. Any other suggestions?

Thank you very much.

you're probably better off uninstalling version 5 and installing 4.18.8 from here -- when you uninstall go to start --> all programs -->limewire -> uninstall (windows XP SP3)

I need some help too! :)
 

This is actually for my Grandfather. He/we bought and purchased Limewire PRO after his one year subscription was up. It worked well for about 2 months... new operating system look and everything. Now we can't open it. It gives us the same error message repeatedly. "Limewire couldn't open" then it goes on to tell us that there must have been a problem with installation. I've uninstalled and reinstalled until I'm blue in the face. All I want to do is call someone to walk me through the reinstall... or tell me what the issue is, but I can't find a number to call. Any suggestions? Should I jsut give up? That would be $40 down the toilet for my grandfather... and I would HATE that.

Please advise.

Thank you.

New operating system? Vista or ... ? Here's things to try.

1. http://www.gnutellaforums.com/333278-post2.html but use your offline installer if you have one. Pro is always an offline installer. Also, before installing: delete the LW preferences folder; http://www.gnutellaforums.com/window...tml#post183932.

2. If using Vista, set the installer to run as Administrator. After installing, set the LW program to run as administrator. Do each by right-clicking the file & choose Run as Admin.

Need help Limewire will download and start up. I click on the first button that comes up and it crashes everytime cant figure out how to get it to load. I have tried the backup installer and it doesnt work

Try the process suggested in step 1 above. And as suggested, if you use Vista you need to set both the installer & LW to run as Admin.

Another thing to try is, change the compatibility mode of LW, set to run as Windows 2000/NT, or if using Vista set to run as XP. To change compatibility mode, see point #5 or 6 here Fixes for Limewire (click on blue link).

BTW if anyone is interested in downgrading to LW 4, please see Why is LW 4.16 superior to LW 4.18 or LW 5?. :)

LW 5 will not be friendly to everyone's system, but that's been the nature of LW, one version doing ok, the next not on a particular person's system. ;)

Alright... I'm ****ing pissed and sorry for my cussing but.. like my name says, WHAT THE **** LIMEWIRE? I had the previous limewire and saw the new update, so I went ahead and updated it so I could get the newest limewire. Then when I try starting it up after downloading it says Limewire Couldn't Start :-( And then goes on with it's bullshit about reinstalling. I reinstalled. Still nothing happened. So I use this back up link and it still ****s up. My limewire was fine and then this new shitty update now made it so I can't even use limewire! :( This is rediculous. Help me please! And sorry for my cussing again as I said.. im just so ****ing pissed!

Alright nevermind. I just downgraded.
Alright for every1 here's a tip!
Go to my computer.
Then Program files
Then double click on limewire.
Go to .NetworkShare
Then boom! all of the installations for the previous installers. Works completely fine, and just use the previous limewire which is 4.16.6
And then the error thing doesn't pop up!
Completely normal. Hope this helps guys!
