can anyone help please

Use the suggestions here http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=47551 which means using the "Offline" installers for both LW & Java. If that still doesn't fix it, uninstall your Java using the add/remove control panel, then try the other version of Java in the link under point #1. Check which version you're using at the moment. If you're using 1.5 then 1.4.2 might be the go. But also delete your LW prefs folder as suggested.

I see others have my problem...LM was working great for the first 2 weeks, then have not been able to use it..."loading interface" keeps going, and going.
I've done the java thing, deleting the LM preferences and have reloaded the offline (MANY times).
I use XP, my firewall allows LM and so does my virus system.
I have the service pack 2.
Have no idea why it won't work..the absolute only thing that has changed since it works is I received updates from Windows for security issues?????
Please tell me what to do...I really want to use Limewire.
At my wits end.

Hi, I had the same problem, all working fine, ran windows update, installed .net v2, did some spyware removal and something broke somewhere.... I tried reinstalling limewire, rebooting etc.. etc.. but was still bust, was just hanging on the initial splashscreen.

Anyway, I fixed it by uninstalling java from control panel and reinstalling from http://java.com/en/download/index.jsp

.NET v2 knackering java installs by any chance ?? now THATS one for the conspiricy theorists to get excited about :-)

Hope this helps someone else,

Rob

I am having the exact same problems with both limewire and frostwire. Have done everything suggested including reinstalling windows but still stuck on "loading user interface" when I try to open. I have windows xp and and broadband connection. I am a bit of a novice but have an 'expert' helping me who understands all this stuff.
