Can't get into LW to check, but I just installed the newest Java and Limewire versions as directed in the post above.
9. Who is your ISP provider (Internet Service Provider) ?
BrightHouse Networks
10. Do this test click here: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ should say 'Your test worked!. What happens ?
It said 'Your test worked!'
11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up.
No
12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user.?
New problem with an experienced user. I was using LW 4.12.6 which was working fine up until I upgraded to 4.12.11. Now the green logo box that comes up before Limewire starts comes on but doesn't continue to load the program. I have been using various versions of Limewire for at least 3 years and have never had this problem.
13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface ?
Can't get into the limewire software to check this.
14. Have you given full permisions for LimeWire to pass through your Firewall ?
Yes. I have never had a firewall issue with Limewire in the past.
15. XP users, Please state XP firewall on or off.?
XP Firewall is on

Like I said earlier, it is not a problem with my computer (I think). It seems that Limewire will just not run for some reason. The program starts and then either doesn't load or freezes. I have tried everthing I can think of including all the uninstalling. I wish I could go back to using the previous version of limewire that worked but when I restore my computer to a previous time, the old version no longer works. Please help me... this is very frustrating.
