![]() Try deleting your LW Preferences folder whilst LW is closed & re-installing Java by savig the installer to your computer & then installing (remove the other version using your Add/Remove Prog Control Panel); instructions here: Fixes for Limewire Can you give us a total desciption of your set up: 1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98) 2. What firewalls you have? 3. ram? 4. Hard Disk space available? 5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) 6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? 7. Where are you trying to connect from (home, school, work, etc.)? 8. What version of Limewire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version. 9. Who is your isp provider? 10. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. |

![]() I had the same problem and did a zillion things and nothing worked until i tried this: Go to Start My Computer Go to c:\programs\program files\limewire then click (or double click) on the file that reads limewire.jar (and under it says executable jar file, about 7007 kb) After I clicked that it brought me through the setup stuff that's real quick and easy and everything worked great after that! Oh deselect start limewire at startup. I heard that causes problems too. Good luck! (I almost deleted limewire and was just about to use something else than this worked. I think it knew it was in trouble.) |
