Hi folks

Finally had to register here after almost two weeks of trying, without success, to install Limewire

I have read this entire thread and tried all 'fixes' - still no good

I'm running XP-Pro on both my PC and my laptop. Both Windows installations are very recent. My laptop runs Limewire perfectly, but this darn PC wont!.

The application installs, but then stops at the 'Language Options' screen with a blank white window?

Running through a router, but the laptop works with it ok.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhgggg - pulling my hair out.

Can you help?

It makes me nevous when people say they've tried everything. lol

Check these possibilities:
1. The way to fix the Blank screen on startup

2. GeoForce 3D setting

3. LW Language option showing blank screen

Thanks, will go try.

I meant 'everything' from this thread

No wonder you're LORD of the rings

BRILLIANT - Thank you so much!

t'was the first one. I'm running XT800PE card.

Now I just have to remember to switch my ATI settings every time I use LW

Okay, i got it installed, however, i still cant get it to run. could this be an issue with my firewall?

kaigray have a look at suggestions to try earlier in the post. Particularly the one just further up the page about setting up your firewalls & modem/router under the link called 'Connection problems? Check here first!' Check those things 1st then try again. It's sometimes better to install Java 1st before LW using the "Offline" installer as compared to the online method.

Thank you so much!!! It's running however, now when i search, nothing happens. The lime is just spinning and spinning. Is there something else I need to do in options. I had limewire before and i never had this much trouble getting it to run.

ok so i get the same problem as probably many others. When LimeWire is installing, i get a message saying "installing Java, please wait" and it never installs. it eventually freezes. So i went to the link to download Java and I'm not sure which one to install. Please help

Get the "Offline" Java installer for version 1.5 (JRE). See point 1 here Fixes for Limewire. Install Java before you install LW. This is better for those having problems when they get to the online Java installation step of installing LW.

OKay, So i've been reading the files here but i haven't found an answer to my own problem.

Every time that i try and download limewire, it takes a little while, i think it may be stalling, then it comes up and and i click download and put it on my desktop where i can easily locate it, and it downloads FAR to quickly for it to be legit, then when i try and open to install it tells me that it is corupt.

Yes, i have tried both the recomended and offline version and both do exactly the same thing. I am uncertain as to what i need to do. So far as i know i've the latest update in java as i've updated just a few days ago. I haven't the slightest clue what to do, but i can say that it is vastly frustrating and aggrivating since i really wanted to use limewire for myself and it came highly reccomended from a dear friend of mine.

If anyone knows how to support me with these problems, it'd be greatly appreciated.

Much thanks,
