I installed Limewire.... decided i wanted to uninstall it. when i did i now get an error message every couple minutes that reads:

LimeWire version 4.16.7

STARTUP ERROR!


I dont know what this file is or what is going on. i've uninstalled everything limewire (at least i thought) and now i'm just being annoyed.

I tired to reinstall it to see if this would resolve the problem and now it's telling me that there is an older version of limewire running and i have to quit that version in order to reinstall. I found the application running in my processes and when i pulled up its actual location and tried to delete it manually from there it says that i cant because i dont have permission or it cant find the file.

can someone give me some sort of guidance and resolving this issue. this is a brand new system, literally opened the box yesterday and i just.. i'm at a loss.

Did you uninstall LW using the Add/Remove Control panel? If yes, that's the reason for the problems. Reinstalling LW will normallly remove the previous version. For uninstalling, Start menu -> Programs -> LW -> Uninstall. The uninstaller is also found within the LW program folder.

Try these things & in this order:

1. (a) Remove all Java versions. ___ (b) Reinstall Java using the OFFLINE java installer: Download Java software from Sun Microsystems

2. Try deleting your LW Preferences folder whilst LW is closed; http://www.gnutellaforums.com/genera...der-vista.html

3. Clean the system using Crap Cleaner

4. Install LW using this OFFLINE installer: http://www9.limewire.com/download/LimeWireWin-full.exe
