LIMEWIRE was working fine, new verison and all until.........

I Formated my HDD and Installed Fresh - Win2000
I downloaded LIMEWIRE and tried to connect..........NOTHING

Ive tried eveything in all these threads and posts and nothing works.

I dont understand why it wont work now, I did nothing different.

I really need HELP with LIMEWIRE.....!!!!.......Plzzzzz

...........Still wont connect ...........

Any other or NEW suggestions...?

I have windows XP. i just did the upgrade for limewire. and now it wont connect. I followed the steps listed on page one. i even tried to re-install limewire. I dont even get the icon in my tray on the bottom of the screen. and i set it to run on start-up. when i click on the icon the hourglass flashes for less than 1 sec and then nothing..i tried right clicking and hitting run... nothing. i tried restarting and it still wont run or show up on my tray. I checked my firewalls and limewire is on my list of things not to block. help ??

I have no firewall and I was able to connect ealier (about two hours before). I tried the shutting down (even in the system tray) and deleting the limewire. directory. But no luck. Any help would be well received.

Uninstall and reinstall Java for XP. It worked for me.

I am having connection probs as well, l/w is installed on a terminal pc in an ad-hoc network (no router) I am running XP home and have tried opening the ports in windows firewall for the terminals address, this has failed misersably. Please help me, i have tried deleting .limeware and so on as well.

I think it may be because there's another application that you (or your roomies, but you said they are away) have that uses the same port as LW. However, only one app may use a port at any given time: other apps will have to use other ports (AFAIK).
Bottom line: try changing the port...

Completely uninstall LW: from the Control Panel, click Add/remove and remove LW. Then search your HD for anything LW and delete that. Re-dld the installer and try again. (If it doesn't work, it may be your Java...)

well ive tried every fix....re installed limewire / java several times..opened ports ...delete .limewire .....everything on every fix ......i got "fair" once when i did that purge thing in the limewire directory but that didnt last....

one thing that caught my eye is i gave up on limewire and downloaded ares and it said it detected a firewall but my firewall was turned off LOL any idea what could cause this?

hi everyone

this is how i made limewire work. in addition to deleting your limewire folder (i deleted + incomplete), DON'T use j2sdk, i had it installed and limewire won't start (just splash screen), and ater 5 minutes it shows the main window and it won't connect. i still don't know where the problem was, but when i installed jre (1.5) it works great.

conclusion: do whatever people said here, and make sure limewire is using java jre, NOT java skd. that's helped me.
