STILL LIMEWIRE WILL NOT CONNECT Windows 7 I have Downloaded The Pirate Edition Of Limewire the day before yesterday.. BEEN STRUGGLING EVER SINCE.. I stublbled upon the Very Nice Site of Gnutella, AND THE Reccomended 2012 Youtube Video on this Issue, I followed the Steps Exactly As the Video and Steps in the Gnutella PAGE.. NO LUCK Same Issues, I went to Firewall Settings and Limewire Is an Allowed Program.. I Had No Idea it would be this Much BS just to get the program that alot seem to be running with no problem.. I have It JUST WONT Connect I have Spent a Few hours and Trys Shut downs Restarts, on off in and out of limewire Using the Instructed dowload... NO LUCK AT All... About to give up.. Any Advice, Is is Becuase Windows 7.. But Remember back when I had OG Limewire like 8 years ago Connecting Was a Big PAIN as Well. I have a PErfect Internet Connect and Everything I DONT UNDERSTAND! ANY HELP !? PLEASE? |

For Windows 7, you MUST set Java to Run As Administrator. Otherwise LW will not connect. You can achieve this easily for LimeWire by right-clicking the short-cut on desktop. But for Java, it would probably be easier to reinstall Java 1.6 (Java 6). Right-click the Java 1.6 installer and choose Run as Administrator. See how things go for connecting after that. Download the Java 1.6 installer and then follow the prior instructions: Direct Java offline download link (Please note, LW5/LPE do not run with the present version of Java 1.7.) |

Alright.. so I Downloaded The Java Link that You provided.. But a Little Confused about the First Line or Two in your Reply Above.. "You can achieve this easily for LimeWire by right-clicking the short-cut on desktop. But for Java, it would probably be easier to reinstall Java 1.6 (Java 6). Right-click the Java 1.6 installer and choose Run as Administrator." Are you Saying right Click on The Shortcut for What..? Limewire? Then Click Run as Administrator on the Limewire Shortcut After Installing the JAva Link provided.? I assume this is What you meant, as there is no Java Shortcut/Desktop Icon. |

Moved the JAva Link Download that you sent to the Desktop and Right clicked and Set run as Admin. Then Opened Limewire.. Becuase Setting LW as Admin Did Nothing.. So trying Both Running as Admin Neither Worked.. Justg Tried Java as Admin.. Then Just Opened LW about 8 Minutes ago and still same Issue "Connecting...." I dont Get why This has been So Much trouble for me.. |

Had I Known you were So Sensitive I would Have used Really Super Nice Words and inserted a smiley face or two, to ensure to you I was friendly, and adhere to the sensitivity. Didnt Think I had to use a Smiley Faces as I thought we were adults and could communicate on a serious Level. Last edited by findya455; February 1st, 2012 at 08:12 PM. |
