limewire wont initialize and start
 

"this is usually due to a firewall program blocking limewire's access to the internet or loopback connections on the local machine. please allow limewire access to the internet and restart limewire."


I need help...i have changed the settings for windows firewall and have tried everything but i cannot fix this.

can somebody please help me out
this would be most appreciated

thanks

It looks as if this might be a Java problem read this thread

Also see no 1 in this thread about installing Java bearing in mind that the thread is not very recent so the numbers will have changed!

let us know if this works
