I've got the same problem but with home vista. My old limewire worked fine but i upgraded, ugh! Now it installs properly but gets stuck upon initially opening the program at 12% (loading HTML engine).

I have tried everything I know. Safe mode, stripped all (and I mean all) non essential programs, the off line installer, new updated java, etc.

Nothing works.

Does anyone know where to get the old free download? At least it worked.

Thanks
