Newly installed LimeWire 4.18.2 will not load "TLS Encryption" component.

I've been running LimeWire for several years and I have encountered a problem not seen before. LimeWire 4.18.2 installed normally (AMD dual-core processor running XP Pro 32 bit OS), but when the installer finished and the program launched, the loading would not progress past "TLS Encryption" although I waited several minutes to finish loading. I uninstalled LimeWire (REVO Uninstaller), cleaned up the registry and re-installed LimeWire, no difference. I then downloaded a clean version of 4.18.2 from the LimeWire web site, and again uninstalled LimeWire and cleaned up the registry and any leftover install files, same-same. I want to mention that this problem started with an install of QuickTime Player 7.50.61.0 which seemed to be a little hinky when the installer finished. After the install of QuickTime Player, the same version of LimeWire stopped loading at the "TLS Encryption" component. I uninstalled QuickTime Player, cleaned up the registry and any leftover files, but I still have the LimeWire loading problem. IMO, it is little more than coincidental that the LimeWire problem started after installing QTP? Any suggestions for a fix? Thanks!

Dude, I have the same problem. I remember, I had to fix Quicktime and all. Have you resolved the problem? I've fiddled with the firewall, creating ports and exempted it. Still nothing.. total fail!

I want Limewire back

Unfortunatly, between June of 2008 and today, I am running a completly different machine. I never did get LimeWire to run on my old machine, even after over-installing XP Pro which is my current OS. I was able to get LemonWire to run on my old machine which is a LimeWire clone also on the Gnutella P2P network. Google "download Lemonwire" and you'll hit several sites that have LemonWire 5.5.4 available for download, that is the latest version that I have of LemonWire. I now have LimeWire 4.18.8 and LemonWire installed and running, no problems. LemonWire is less of a resource pig (CPU load and RAM used) than LimeWire, and IMO, works almost as good as LimeWire. Give it a try and good luck!

I've been running LemonWire for the past couple of weeks as I'm having processor load issues and LimeWire is a resource pig. I don't download torrent files as they are tough on the hard drive, no matter what torrent programs claim about protecting the hard drive from overheating and damage. Torrent files aren't worth the risk of hardware damage, no matter how much RAM is allocated for torrent file use. Stick with normal download files. Good luck!
