Post your question, comment, or complaint only once. There is no need to express yourself more than once. Duplicate posts will be deleted with little or no warning. 10.

Don´t use eMail addresses in your nick. 12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit. 13.

 Compat button Right-click it, hit properties, then at the top there are multiple tabs. One is Compatibility. A third of the way down the screen, on that tab, there is a box to check that says "run in compatibility mode" and then a drop down box of OS's to run it with. Just let it choose XP. That's how it worked for me anyway. Good luck. |

| Okay, I tried it again, and it works... But now, LimeWire opens upon start up, and when I exit, it just keeps popping up. I know there's something about this, and I tried that. I tried to uninstall LimeWire, but it said I needed to close LimeWire to uninstall, but it keeps opening. My uninstall screwed up, as I still have the folders and such, but when I try to click the, it says I can't find them. I tried to download BFU and everything, but before it gets done, it gets "Error '7': Out of Memory." |

| Hmmm, not good, you definatley have a worm, but you could very well have something else as well... Could you disable your current Anti-Virus app and download AVG, make sure you update it and run a full system scan and see what it finds... AVG free If it finds a virus, follow the recommended steps that AVG gives you to get rid of it and then try the BFU fix again... If you still have problems go to one of these sites and ask them for advice...

 Limewire Opens Constantly, keeps trying even though uninstalled I've been looking all over these forums and keep ending up back at square 1. When I have limewire installed, it opens constantly. As soon as I close it, it opens again. From what I've found- looking up the problem online- it says I have a worm, and the reason it keeps opening on it's own is because it wants ppl to d/l things from me, and get the worm as well. No matter how many suggestions I've tried - spybot, etc virus protection things to remove the worm, none of them find it. So I keep uninstalling limewire. But when I do that, it continues to try to open it, and gives me java errors etc, because something keeps trying to open LimeWire, but it realizes it's not there to open. I need help!!!! There has to be a worm on my pc, it makes sense. I have vista so some replies to these questions don't work as well for me.. HELPPPP! |

| Unfortunately that's what I had in the first place- Avast.. and it never caught the "worm." This is so annoying, I guess I just have to use my pc with a constant error in the background. |
