LimeWire Launcher Error
 
I keep getting a window popup that says "LimeWire was unable to load the Java Runtime Environment. Please download and install new version from http://www.java.com" I uninstalled limewire once and this happened so i re-installed and uninstalled again and this window will not go away. any ideas on how to get rid of it?

wondering why June 11th, 2006 01:29 PM

I think you need to update your Java

Use the offline install

Another....Limewire Launcher Error
 
thanks for the help 'wondering why', I went to this page and updated java....http://java.com/en/download/manual.jsp. now I have a new message that says "limewire was unable to load. Please download and install Limewire again" I did download and install and during install it says there is an older version of limewire so it must abort or retry. there is no version that I can find and my comp. will not allow me to access the task manager from the bottom toolbar to see if it is secretly running. Anybody have any ideas? Please share, Thanks!

If you're using Windows XP there is another folder or two under your name in
"C:\Documents and Settings\your name\.limewire" and maybe
"C:\Documents and Settings\your name\Application Data\Limewire"
Delete those too.

Also, to access Task Manager in Windows, just hold down the Control and Alt
keys while pressing the Delete key. That should always work unless you have a
virus or somethiong like that.

So, you're using Windows,
control-alt-delete doesn't work,
and you didn't find Limewire where I described or in "Program Files"?

Stay in this thread please. It's hard to keep track in a busy place like this. :p

using win xp, and no my ctrl-alt-del doesn't work. i did find it in the program files but it wouldn't let me delete the .exe file. i finally got my computer to boot to safe mode and got rid of the files there. then i restarted and haven't had a problem since, except not being able to access task mgr

If you can't access Task Manager you probably have a trojan or virus.
Download this, run it and post the list it makes: [StartupList]

the link you gave opens a dead page, it doesn't do anything

AaronWalkhouse June 14th, 2006 07:21 PM

Whoops. Old link. Hold on…
