Default I get "Loading user interface" window and nothing happens

I click on the desktop shortcut to try to open limewire and it makes me choose my connection speed and and where I want my files stored (even though I have already answered those questions). Then I get a window that says loading user interface. I waited 10 minutes and nothing happened. I tried going to my tasklist to maybe stop limewire but it doesn't show any applications as running. Basically, I want to know if this is normal or if there is something wrong. (I have Windows International, by the way, because the other Windows download wouldn't work).

Unhappy

I'm getting the same problem. I can get into the program when I'm not connected to the Internet, but while I'm online it doesn't get past "loading user interface."

Somebody HELP!!!!!!

Same thing happened to me for the first time bout a week ago when launching LW.... it froze at the "Loading user interface" step of the launch. I also checked the tasklist.... it didn't show the LW application as running.... hmmmm.... weird huh!

Hasn't happened again since

Try deleting your LW Preferences folder whilst LW is closed; instructions here: Fixes for Limewire & updating your Java to version 1.5. But downld the Java & save the installer to your comp (don't install over the net.) Then install Java from your comp.

If you don't already have it, update to LW 4.8.1

Do you get a blank screen or freezing at the loading message? You could also try reverting back to Java 1.4.2 which might help. For some reason 1.4.2 runs better on some people's systems. You can get a link for this Java from my previous link. Not sure if this applies to you people but it might be worth seeing this: LimeWire loads with Blank window & freezes (click on link)

Thumbs up Reverting to Java 1.4.2 did the trick!

Thanks for the advice LOTR - I had "upgraded" to Java 1.5 Update 2 last week, not coincidentally, the last time I had LW functioning properly. By simply uninstalling 1.5 and reinstalling 1.4.2 I have rectified the problem. I suggest anyone who is receiving the "Loading User Interface..." command take your advice and do as I did, before taking any other action. Maybe next time, I'll use my noodle more efficiently. Take it easy - PB
