chinchila_0 perhaps you should do a clean up of your system. Get CCleaner (click on link) & run it through to clean up your registry. Then downld both the "Offline" versions of Java & LW. Use the Add/Remove control panel to remove all previous versions of Java. Then install Java 1.5 (take the JRE). Then install the offline version of LW http://www.limewire.com/english/content/download.shtml

Clean up the registry to rid it of obsolete files that aren't used anymore such as those that belong to earlier versions of LW. If still problems after re-installing Java & trying to install LW, then cancel it & reboot & try again.

Thanks for replying.

I have the newest version of Java (got it yesterday), so I don't think Java is the problem. It was yesterday (I had version 4.1 or something) and when I tried to download LW using the online and offline versions, it would freeze at Installing Java. I removed Java on my computer, and I now I have the newest version.

So, now LW had downloaded, I have the program on my computer. The problem is that it is freezing in the Setup Wizard -- Was on step 5 (choose if I want it to automatically start or not), but now it's freezed twice on step 4 (choosing connection...cable/dsl, etc).

I've tried using Windows 95, 2000 and NT compatabilities, none working. I've also deleted the LW file in Application Data.

I'll try the clean up of my system, and see if that works. If not, I'll try removing Java and LW and start fresh.
