yaay i love you!! it works!!! i'm sooo happy. lol

Hi there already tried all of those fixes. Mine doesn't even attempt to open, the hourglass comes up and then disppears so I can 't even open Limewire to change any options, nothing at all happens on clicking the icon or exe file or right click and open. as i say it worked perfectly on download... as soon as I had to re-boot nothing.

1/ Windows XP
2/ Zonealarm (other p2p's work and it makes no difference turning it off)
3/ 448MB RAM
4/ 27GB HDD
5/ ADSL
6/ BT Voyager 105
7/ home

As far as your zonealarm goes see this for configuring it to allow LW access (also for xp firewall): http://www.limewire.com/english/content/firewalls.shtml

lol Maybe! har har har lol But I've been happy with LW for a no. of years. Helping out on the forum now as a way of thanking them.

So you tried Fixes for Limewire & it didn't make any improvement for you? Try the Beta 4.3.2 http://www.limewire.com/english/content/beta.shtml Many people have doubts about betas & me as well. But with the LW betas I've used every one since LW 4.1.4 & been satisfied with them. I think that's roughly close to 10 of them.

Give LW some time to connect & don't rush in & do things. But if you're not even getting started, then I'd suggest you do a system check. Clean up your system & your registry (but only if you know how or have a utility that can do it.) Defragment your HDD.

Last & least prefered option: Might I suggest you delete all the files in your incomplete folder & try again.

Another last resort is to use the international (multilingual) version of LW installer. It uses a different type of installer. But it forces LW to use Java 1.3 which is a little inadequate in many cases.

worked for me too! thanks!

Worked for me,on xp.thanks.

ye what do you know it turns out it didn't like the later java version, works fine now thanks really appreciate that.

Let me at them downloads again..........

WOW LOL ur right man

That is strange. Sometimes some people's systems prefer the Java 1.4.2 as compared to the Java 1.5 Some other people have also experienced the same thing in recent months. They come from 2 different companies.

Java version 1.4.x OR version 1.5 (take the JRE)

Hi, I use LimeWire Pro 4.2.6 on Mac OS X 10.3.7. I had been using LimeWire successfully until about a week ago. Then, one day LimeWire Pro started to quit right after initial process. (LimeWire window won't open.) I tried deleting Preference files method. It didn't work. However I can start LimeWire Pro 4.0.6 (Mac OS 9) without any problem. I tried LimeWire 4.2.6 (for OS X but non Pro version). It didn't start, either.
I'm puzzled???
