I am trying to install and getting running Limewire...all is going well, except, after I choose my Internet connection, it goes to a Firewall Window, but I have allowed full internet access...but there is no button to allow me to go to the next screen to proceed with the install??? any ideas |

Did you try to install using the offline installer?? Also, what about your Java installation? Did you update it prior to the LW installation?? Uninstall all Java versions on your system. Reboot and then download the JRE offline installer of the newest Java version from here: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp Install it and reboot again, then try to install LW.

Hmm, that's odd. Try force quitting it & reinstall (Control-alt-del & open process manager to do this.) I would recommend the "Offline" version which is 2nd on the download page. That way you're not installing whilst waiting for the files to be sent over the internet. With the offline installer, all necessary files (except Java) are within the installer on your computer. In fact, I would also recommend installing Java offline before you install LW. Get Java here http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp which is about a 15 MB download. And of course, get the offline LW installer from here http://www.limewire.com/english/content/download.shtml |

Still having trouble... So I had LimeWire on my old computer but recently got a new one. I tried installing and everything went fine until the last window, where you "finish" and run the program. However, nothing comes up: the program never runs. I read all the faq and lots of the forums. I used internet explorer, not AOL, and when i went to uninstall java or whatever, it's not even a program on my computer. What should I do?! Thanks so much!! |

If you don't have Java, LW won't work. Download the latest JRE offline installer here http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index_jdk5.jsp Just double check that there's no old Java versions on your comp. If there is, remove it. If there's not then install the JRE. Now reinstall LW & use the offline installer (not the recommended one) http://www.limewire.com/english/content/download.shtml |
