I have reviewed most of the posts regarding the failure of Limewire - I have uninstalled, reinstalled, deleted the .limewire folder, ran LW again, pasted the new gnutella.net file, and rebooted. I have allowed LW to access internet - I use ZoneAlarm, Avast, and Super Anti-Spyware - all of which I have disabled just to see if LW would start.

I have also removed and re-installed Java v.6 and am thinking to remove it and go back to v.5 as some clues alude to.

I changed LW preferences to Win 2000. The same things occurs no matter what I do -

The LW box shows it's loading, then nothing. No window, no icon in the sys tray, and no error message.

Is there anyway I can go back to the old version of LW? Or perhaps there is a fix I haven't tried yet?

I'm on Compac nx6325, running Win XP, using Firefox.

I ran the "test" and that was working properly, and I previously ran LW v.10 I think, just fine.

Help?
