im having the same problem as you T_T

yahahah! i followed grandpa's advice and voila! i made my long lost beloved limewire running! kukuku
thank you very much!
this thread is really a great help for people like me

I have windows vista and I have downloaded lime wire lots of times with both internet explorer and Firefox and the files LimeWireWin and LimeWireWin-full but none works. When i double click them a message appears saying "windows cannot access to the specified device, path or file. You may not have the appropriate permission to access the item". Please help me.

See the red Stickies at the top of the Vista section of the forums. General Vista Support - Gnutella Forums Also look near the beginning of the Vista section.

I did a search & found this: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/genera...tml#post289927

Ok heres the thing. yesterday i downloaded the new version of limewire and it worked fine. today the icon disappeared from down by my time and battery info bit. So i clicked on the start up icon and nothing happened. so i uninstalled limewire then tried it again installed fine but no startup. i looked in my lime wire file and there was this error message "
# An unexpected error has been detected by HotSpot Virtual Machine:
#
# EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xc0000005" so i figured maybe java was the problem. have uninstalled/reinstalled java and limewire all day. the java.com site verefied that i had correctly installed java, so i don't know what to do nex. I even tried downloading the 5.0 version of java incase the newerones were not compatible.

i anm not that good on computers and have exhausted my limited knowledge, can anyone help me?

This problem shows up for some people after installation. You receive a Java error message saying "limewire has encountered a FATAL ERROR". The way to solve this one seems to be to change compatibility of LW to Windows 2000.
incase anyone else was where i was

Win 2000 or win NT, one or the other often fixes the issue.

Hello Everyone, I have just joined the Limewire Forums. I would like to say Thank You to the Limewire creators because your product is a wonderful file-sharing program which I have enjoyed for a many years.

I have a little problem though, I keep getting the corrupt installation message and i dont know how to fix it. I have unistalled Limewire many times and tried to reinstall it but I keep getting the same corrupt message. Does anyone else have the same problem? I tried the link above also that too failed. Thanks in advance for any help anyone can provide!
Regards
Danielle

Are you using the online installer? The online installation can sometimes have corruption problems Try it this way:

First of all, install Java. Download the JRE offline installer & remove any other Java versions installed (via Add/Remove Programs) before you install the latest Java.
Java SE Downloads

After Java's installed, install LW. When you click to download the LW installer, cancel the dialog box which pops up...now use the option to download the offline installer.
Lime Wire » Download LimeWire

If you still can't install, use the 'other' installer.
Installing using the 'other' installer


Sorry...I'm not sure which link you've tried already, there are so many in this thread!

WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THIS THING?? I HATE VISTA.. I UNINSTALLED MY NORTON ANTIVIRUS.. AND THEN TRIED TO INSTALL MCAFEE... AND THEN I INSTALLED AND UNINSTALLED LIMEWIRE TWICE AND IT WILL NOT OPEN AT ALL.... WHAT DO I DO??? please send EMAIL to *email address removed*
