ermmm...whilst I use the Fbomb all the time, I gotta say that yur nick is a tad over the top for most any forum...

anyways, it seriously sounds to me like you've got some other issue besides LW...a type of issue usually caused by downloading some sort of BAD file...it wouldn't surprise me in the least bit if it was a file 'supplied' by the MAFIAA that was intended to make LW not work...now, since I have no earthly idea of just exactly what it did to your OS I can be of no help in that regards...but, I am quite sure that reformatting your HDD and doing a clean install and then reinstalling LW will work..sorry for the bad news, but its a fact of life if you wish to be a file sharer...I've had to do it quite a few times myself, so don't feel alone...

I did System Restore and went back a month in time (when Limewire worked), and now it won't even load.

hmmm...then try this before you do a reformat: simply reinstall Java (sounds like you went back in time before you had java, hence LW and FW won't even launch as they require jave}

i'm have the same exact problem as everyone else, might there be a problem with the program rather than the computer.

Yeah, I don't know what it is.. I'm gonna try scanning for viruses with all the anti-virus programs I have (even though I already have scanned).. I've posted on geekstogo.com for computer help, there's nothing wrong with my computer. Limewire randomly stopped working.. I've tried everything recommended and even more.
