nobody has come up with a solution to this problem. every time a thread is posted everyone comes up with this stupid sugestion of reinstalling java and then reinstalling limewire. it just ****** the person off and doesnt solve the problem. im really really sorry guys if i sound a lil pissed but ive tried all this crap,
delete the folder ".limewire" preference folder
uninstall limewire
unistall java
reinstall java, the offline installer
reinstall limewire

none of this worked for me guys.
could anybody come up with something different?
ive seen the same answer on every thread.
instead of wasting time doing this, i guess one would be better off reinstalling windows. cuz i think it takes the same amount of time.
