I installed, uninstalled, have the latest java, went even into the regedit and removed the extras! I still cannot be get this to work, can someone help me please?

What exactly's happening when you try to install? Are you getting any error messages?
The more info you can give us, the better.

It just sits there, "loading" and a pop up with firewall and will not go away. Once you click the red X to get rid of the box the whole thing goes away.

So I sit there, install, go through, hit english, next, Cable, next, start auto (and also tried unchecking), nothing after that, it sits there loading saying that its installing the library.

I just downloaded the new version of Limewire, and keep getting the message, Can not connect, possible firewall, check settings. Which I have done. No settings have been changed since I used the old version. I love limewire and want it back! Help

It sounds like Java is not loading correctly. You need to go to add/remove programs and remove all previous versions of Java then reboot go back and check to see that all previous versions of Java have been removed. Then go to C:/Program Files and delete the Java Folder reboot. Now with that all done download the Java offline installer to your computer once you have the installer downloaded install Java then LimeWire.

Your Modem/Router may have a firewall in it or your ISP may have started blocking or shaping P2P traffic unfortunately you have not supplied enough details for us to help you. If you could supply more info it would be helpfull.

I have reinstalled java, and limewire. Java has been confirmed successful install.
I keep getting the message that a firewall is blocking limewire. I have been using limewire since Jan. 2006, it was only when I upgradied to the new version that I began getting this message. I used the old version in the morning, and installed the updated version the same evening. I do not believe any settings were changed with me ISP provider in that time frame.
?????

When you installed the new version did your firewall ask if you wanted to grant permission for LimeWire to access the INTERNET. If it did not you will have to add LimeWire to you allow list. If it is already in your allow list remove it from the list then add it again.

The only thing that happens repeatedly is, a Java window opens after the LW loadup screen starts. The screen says:
"One or more necessary files appear to be invalid.
This is generally caused by a corrupted installation.
Please try downloading and installing LimeWire again.
If the problem persists, please visit www.limewire.com
and click the 'Support' link.
Thak You."

STARTUP ERROR!

etc......

I've tried deleting it and reinstalling it again, but still no luck, and I've also tried your suggestions... they still didn't work.
Even though we are getting the system for free, is it possible for someone specifically a technician from limewire, be able to help us out....

Or is this a form of way to tell us that, it time for us to stop getting freebies and start paying!!

Sorry, there aren't any LW technicians here

Try this:

1. Reinstall Java. Use the JRE offline installer here. Remove your current Java version before you install the new one.
http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index_jdk5.jsp

2. Delete LW's preferences folder when LW is properly closed. See points 2 & 3 below. If you've only used very recent versions of LW then the folder will be in point 3's location. If you've used much older versions in the past, there could be a folder in both locations.
Fixes for LimeWire
Deleting this folder will kill all of your settings within options...you'll have to go back thru & reset your options afterwards.

3. Now reinstall LW & make sure to use the offline installer (not the recommended one).

A corrupted installation is a corrupted installation...whether you have Pro or basic.

I paid $14.50 to upgrade from PRO to the new PRO.
Now, nothing works!
I get the LW logo smact in the middle of my desktop and the loading bars do NOT run accross the bottom of it.
PLUS the logo stays on my screen.
I have to reboot my computer to get the logo off.
I contacted LW, via email 3 times and I called 212-219-6050.....NO replies.
Anyone have an answer to why my LW does not work?
Thanks.
