![]() I had trouble for months (okay, I didn't make it a priority though) and tried everything I could find. I finally found this answer on a thread and it worked. It's quick and easy to try, so you might as well try this before you start uninstalling, deleting and all that other stuff. In windows (I have XP) Go to Start My Computer Go to c:\programs\program files\limewire then click (or double click) on the file that reads limewire.jar (and under it says executable jar file) Once I clicked on that, i went through the short setup language thing again and it worked fine!!!! Don't know what'll happen when i shut down again of course, so i'm cramming in some downloads now! I just made a shortcut of that file to my desktop. Oh ya, I heard it helps if you disable the "start limewire at startup option" from another thread. So I'm going to post this in a bunch of threads in case it helps anyone else. I got this advice from another thread so thank you to them!! |

![]() You must of purchased from a scam site as the official Pro costs $18.88 with 6 months of free updates and support, onece your 6 months is up you can either keep the version of Pro you have or you can re-purchase at a discounted price and recieve another 6 months... So you see there is no 4 year subscription... With your connection problems could you supply these details please... http://www.gnutellaforums.com/connec...-help-you.html

![]() Hi, thanks for your reply. I did not download Limewire from anywhere but the official website LimeWire . I paid about £60 for 4 years subscription, I don't know what that is in US $ and then after a short while I paided extra to upgrade to LimewirePro because of it being quicker to download. When I got it over 2 years ago there was various packages I could opt for and the four year one worked out the best value in the long run, thats why I got it. I don't use unofficial websites for any purpose. I don't know what the subscriptions are now as I have not bothered to look as I am not going to pay again for something I have already paid for. 1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98) - Windows Xp Home Edition 2. What firewalls you have? - McAfee/AOL 3. How much ram? - 512 MB 4. Hard Disk space available? - 58.1% 5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) - DSL 6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers?- BT Voyager 105 7. Where are you trying to connect from (house, appartment complex, school, student accomodation, work, etc.)? - House 8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version. - Version 6 Update 1 9. Who is your ISP provider (Internet Service Provider)? - AOL 10. Do this simple test for us. Using your browser go here: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ The page should say 'Your test worked!'. What happens when you go there? - 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. - A new problem 13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? - Yes |

![]() Sorry to tell you but these scam sites are very good at making things look official...There has never been a subscription to Pro that is longer than 6 months and limewire basic has always been free...So you should never have been charged what you where charged... Membership? - **WARNING ** BEWARE** - Download p2p Clients ONLY Thru Official Sites get your $$$ BACK!!!(music members) Firstly I notice that you have 2 firewalls, you need to disable one of them as running 2 will not protect you more in fact it has the reverse effect.. I would suggest kepping the McAfee and disbling the entire AOL security package it is known to cause conflict with limewire and maybe a recent update has caused this to happen... This is the instructions to configuring limewire and McAfee correctly.. Port Forwarding for the McAfee Security Center The recent Java 6.1 has also been causing many conflicts, so try rolling back to the 5.11 JRE offline version....(4th down) Java SE Downloads - Previous Release - JDK 5
