Connection Problem, Major
 
Ok I have a major connection problem with limewire, i've configured my firewall, and i have taken the test and it said i had passed not only that i also used the purger and it still didnt work


Whenever i try to connect it says "Limewire has encountered a problem and needs to close" and i have tried uninstalling it and installing it back again

You realise XP has its own firewall don't you. If you're using another firewall then you should disable XP's firewall.

1. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.)
2. Modem & router brand name & model numbers?
3. Where are you trying to connect from (home, school, work, etc.)?
4. What version of Limewire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version.
5. Who is your isp provider?

Select a magnet link file from here & tell us how LW behaves: http://www.magnetmix.com/video.shtml

How soon after you open LW does it close down?

Try deleting your LW Preferences folder whilst LW is closed; instructions here: Fixes for Limewire And if this doesn't work, try the other options such as changing LW compatibility to win 2k. If that doesn't do it then uninstall Java & downld the installer to your comp., & then reinstall (after uninstalling Java.) If that doesn't work, uninstall java again & install Java 1.4.2 instead. Link in the above link. ;) Fingers crossed! :D

thats the thing my limewire doesnt open, as soon as i double click it a message comes up saying "Limewire has encountered a problem and needs to close. sorry for any inconvenience" and it doesn't open

and yes i've tried all of that already nothing seems to work
