I have used limewire now for a long time with no problems. Yesterday i was downloading and everything froze. wherever i put the mouse over anything on limewire, it highlighted but when clicked nothing happened, I had an older version of the free application so i uninstalled it and installed the latest from download.com. I get the language dialog page and again i press english it highlights but nothing when pressed. From this forum i tried the backup installer,still the same. I checked java and it tells me i have the latest version. The only thing new that i have installed in the last few days is nero 7 and crazy voice. I dont want to uninstall these if i can help it, Has anyone had trouble with limewire and these programmes? Nothing else has been affected.I have done a virus check, and all is ok I have mcafee firewall which has been configuered and i even turn it off with no luck. I did a search for limewire and deleted all, so it would be a clean install. I tried a systemn restore but had no restore points. Can someone please help me to get started again thanks

The first thing I would try is to uninstall LW and all Java versions installed on your computer. Then download the JRE offline installer (version 1.5.0_07) from the official Sun page:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp

Install it and then reboot and install LW again. See if it makes a difference.

If not, then you'll have to uninstall the both programs you've mentioned (crazy voice and Nero 7) and check whether LW will run when those programs are removed. If it does, reinstall first Nero and try LW again. If it still works then reinstall Crazy Voice. You either end up with all working fine or with LW not working again, which would mean that Crazy Voice is the problem.

I tried un and reinstalling limewire and java, still the same. I uninstalled crazy voice,still the same and then nero,also no good. I then un and reinstalled limewire and java again without the two progs,and still it dont work. It installs the files and then gets to the language dialog. I press on the dropdown box which highlights but nothing happens. If i press cancel or the red check mark to terminate still nothing. I also use azurius and have been experiencing trouble with this. when i open it does not allways appear, the blue flash screen comes and then sometimes it dies. I do a ctrl alt & delete and the cpu will be 00 i have to do this a couple of times to get it up and running.This trouble with limewire started while as was at the computer, it was as though the mouse was not working but does on everything else. Is there someone that can solve this problem please?

Can you tell me what graphic card you use??
Besides, did you have any recent updates of programs, drivers or anything like this?
When was the last time you did a disk defragmentation?
Under which compatibility mode do you run LW and the other p2p programs?
(right click on the LW icon on your desktop and choose Properties>Compatibility)

I have a nvidea geforce fx200 graphics card version 1.5.1. The only updates that i have done are on this card because limewire and shareaza were both flashing and crashing, and i was getting this computer has recovered from a fatal error. It was suggested from another site that i check nvidea site for newer versions. This was some weeks ago, and it did the trick. The compatability on both limewire and sharaza are both blank, no boxes are checked. As i say it has installed ok and as soon as i open it the lime screen loads and then a setup dialog box appears language options choose language. It is stuck on English [United States] the dropdown box highlights but does not work, also at the bottom next and cancel are lit but again nothing. I did a defrag about two weeks ago. shareaza is still working fine. I hope this helps you to help me thanks.

After i posted the last message, i wondered if i created a second account it would solve the problem.I used another name as the administrator and installed lw there and it works ok. How do i get it to work in my logons. thanks for any help

The only thing I can't think of at the moment is to uninstall LW, reboot and then log on as administrator and try to reinstall it by right clicking the installer exe and then "run as Administrator".
