Hello,

I can't seem to download the newest version of Limewire. I've had previous versions for years. I deleted all previous versions as well as all previous versions of Java but when I try to download Limewire, I keep getting this message:
"Cannot copy Limewire: Access Denied. Make sure the disk is not full or write protected and that the file is not currently in use"
I've tried changing the name of Limewire and putting it in a different folder but nothing seems to work.
I know my disk isn't full and the file is not in use...but i can't delete write protected programs.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Angry No 'Next' Button

After downloading both the offline and back up installers i'm still having the same problem.

Installation seems to be going well until I get to the misc options stage. There's no 'next' or 'previous' button so I can't navigate through the installation process.
I've reinstalled several times using different download links provided, including the java download to see if that was the problem.

I'm using Windows XP. Any help?

Hi BTYLS - sorry for the delay in answering yr post -- your problem is caused by the font size -- the installation of Limewire must be done in Normal Font Size and not large -- To choose Font size in Windows XP Home, Right click on an empty part of the desktop --> choose properties --> appearance --> Font size (choose normal)
check this link out (installation probs buttons missing)
