I have tried everything in order to get lw to open and run and nothing has happened. I have uninstalled and reinstalled lw several times along with java. I have also tried the back-up installer with no luck. When i click on the lw icon the start-up screen pops up and stays in the middle of the screen and the only way to get it off is to restart. I get the firewall screen asking me to allow access and as soon as i do nothing. I've read everything on this forum followed all directions and still nothing. I've had lw for about 1 year with no problems, bought the new version of pro and thats when it all started. If anyone has an idea please let me know.

Join the LW ripped off club I went thru all the same' but when I had Paid and finished and tried to Open LW Nothing! I could not get help anywhere someone from the real LW emailed me and gave me the OTHER complaint Email address! There I downloaded my debit bill and found I had been charged $80.00+instead of $34.00?? I was charged for extras as well as Pro but I had recieved Nothing no file Nought! I sent this other Mob 3 Emails and no reply! I rang a Phone Num in Nth America" on hold for 30 min and when I told her what happened she asked me my Email Address and then said I "cannot understand you" then hung up? I rang the number again and recieved a recorded message "Ring before you Dig" I came here to the forum and thanks to all of you guy's I found an Address to download LW and it works great but I am still out of pocket! hope this helps and I hope everybody else is VERY careful that you click onto LW and not the Bogus site like I did. Dasha

Bogus site?
That's the first time I heard that.
You have a link to the real site?
Also, I called my bank and told them that I'm disputing the $14.50 charge ( just on principle) and they are going to reverse the charge.

: Just go through these Forums this is where I found the Link and downloaded LW It 's best if you find it yourself, I would hate to give you wrong Link

I recently downloaded Limewire and paid approx.£58 for the privelige. My Hard developed a fault and I have installed a new one, now I do not seem to be able to download the software as I cannot remember my login or password

Limewire tech support page does not load, can anyone help?

Many Thanks in advance

Search thru this forum and you will find a Link and then you can try and contact them like I did (Read my Thread)
or better still just go to the link and re download (don't ask me how I Just cliked on it after somone from the real LW told me to and in downloaded LW and cut your losses, thats what I did I dropped $80 but when I was able to download from the proper site at least I recovered some money PS I would advise you do not click on The BUY LW PRO site - Yor Call good luck. Dasha

This version of the installation finally worked for me, but just as I was finishing the installation, a window popped up and said that I would have to download Java myself for LimeWire to work, because it couldn't make it install itself. I went to the Java website and attempted to download it but then an error message popped up which said : "The installation cannot proceed with the current Internet Connection proxy settings." (Sorry this is getting so long) Then I went to try and find the proxy settings..and according to the website, my computer doesn't use a proxy server! I didn't think this would stop the LimeWire program, so I came here to see if anyone could help. Again, sorry for the long post and thanks in advance!

Margret I can only say that the whole Limewire install is a "Dud" unless you are VERY VERY Careful and NEVER Click on "INSTALL PRO" at the start of the installation! Somehow when you click to install you are onto a Dud Site and they take your money but no Limewire They don't answer the 1800 number and there is no way of contacting them, My advice is to forget it, or sift thru this forum and you will find a "link" that LM Cnutella" has posted I think because of us all complaining? click on it" and it will install the correct LW (it did for me) but I am still $50 out of pocket, Good Luck Dasha

Dasha

Thanks Dasha! I wasn't sure what you meant about the link that LM Cnutella posted, but the link "zap" posted finally worked after another try. I haven't really tried to find a song or download anything, but I was just glad when I finished downloading and finally opened! Also, sorry about the $50!
