I dont have that file. I went to H/users/username/appdata/roaming....NO LIMEWIRE

Are You Sure "H" is Your HDD??? Generally "C" is the HDD and anyother Letter would signify either Removeable or any number of other Drives. ie CD-RW, DVD-RAM, MP3 Player...

I dont know why but yes I know what you meanit should be c/...

I don't even have a preference folder. I have never been able to open LW. I had no problems with the download nor installation. I even have bought LW pro for 6 months. Have written tech support and they have not even answered. What did I pay all that money for.
I went to my Java in the control panel and updated to 7???? assuming that is 1.7. Have a feeling that is screwing everything up but I still could not open LW with 1.6 so I don't know what the problems are. Do other download programs interfere ie MP3Rocket?(that said it was unable to work with the present version of iTunes. I am so confused I am ready to throw all of this down the drain. Even the stupid iPod shuffle.
Any help appreciatied.
Windows vista premium, 2gb memory, 60gb hard drive
THanks

Hi Joanne, Here are a few suggestions that may help.

Try uninstalling all versions of Java from add/remove programs and then use Crap Cleaner to clean the registry.

Try updating to the latest version of Java here Java SE Downloads (Sixth one Down) Useing the JRE Offline Installer.

If the latest update gives you any problems, try this older version, which has worked well for lots of people: Archive: Download Java 2 Platform Standard Edition (J2SE) 5.0 Update 11
Hope this Helps. :)

Still cannot open LS

:bangh: I have tried and done everything you suggested. I still cannot open LW. I had no problems with the Java.
It is too late to add all the information ya'll want in a post. I will do it next time.
Anyone have suggestions I would appreciate it. I may try the un-install,re-install and see what happens.
Thank you.
Joanne

I deleted everything and it seems to work....

LW will not open after trying various fixes

Answers to System questions:
1 - Vista Premium with administrative privileges.
2 - windows firewall
3 - Ram 2Gb
4 - Hard disk available 41.5Gb
5 - Satellite
6 - Linskys router
8 - connect from home
9 - LW 4.18 Java 1.6
11 - Hometown computing
12 - I FAILED THE TEST WITH ERROR "LW takes to long to open" what does this mean???? :(
13 - Firewall detected what does this mean???
15 - Avast anti-virus,SpySweeper
14 - don''t know how router set up I added limewire to the firewall plus the port 65000
16 - USA
I hope that is all. But I don't understand the test nor what the results mean. I looked for an answer on the system page but couldn't find answer.
Does having M3Rocket program cause an issue with LW? When I installed FrostWire it said that I had LW running and that it caused a conflict and removed it. But LW wasn't working then either.
I think it may be the firewall, but I don't understand the "Advanced" section of the firewall program at all. Could that be why I can't open LW?
I know it is too many questions, but I hope someone will answer esp. the failed LW test.
Thank ya'll who have tried to help and I will wait for a reply.

Well - finally = a solution that worked. I went into My computer, users, limewire, application data - then I deleted the gnutella.net file and voila! thanks.
