Unable to start Limewire
 

Hi there!

Can anyone help me with the following problem. I try to start Limewire, but every time I try, I only get the startup screen. It juts keeps on running forever saying that is is loading the user-screen and nothing happens. The only way to stop the process is through the taskmanager.

I have tried all the fixes that are presented on the forum (deleting the .limewire folder, running on windows 2000, updating my version of Java, and running as administrator) but nothing seems to fix the problem.

I use Windows XP and McAfee Security Center.

Can anyone help me? Thanks!
:confused: :)

Do you still have a older version of Java in your computer?? Java dont do well uninstalling the older version.

Try doing the instructions below

You will need to install Java and LimeWire manually First go to the first link.You can find Links to java in there Download Java to your hard drive by putting a mark in the save to disc box. Save it to my documents or wherever you save downloads from the internet. Do the same with LimeWire the second link will take you there.

Now with that done click on start then control panel add/remove programs and see if Java is listed on the list if it is uninstall it. Do the same with LimeWire if the un installers were not loaded you may have to manually delete the files. But in most cases this is not necessary.

Now click on the Java installer you saved to your hard drive and follow the instructions after you have completed that do the same with LimeWire.

Please post back and let us know if it worked. If it did not I will give further instructions on manually deleting Java and LimeWire.

Thanks four your reaction. However, I'm sad to say that this didn't work either. I dowloaded both Java and Limewire, deleted previous versions of the spftware through the ad/remove software screen, and searched the drive for any remaining Limewire files, which I deleted as well.

When starting Limewire, I was taken through the setup-part (what is your connection, where do you want the files to be saved etc.). Then I even restarted the computer. But after starting Limewire, the same problem persists.

I hope you have any other suggestions!
