Default What Worked for Me

You are an angel!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've had trouble for months and it was such a simple solution!!! Everyone should try this first! (the whole jar executable file thing) I reposted this solution on some other threads cause it's such an easy thing to check! (start with the cheapest/easiest solutions first right?)

For us simpletons on windows xp:

In windows (I have XP)

Go to Start My Computer
Click c:
Click Program File
Click the file that says limewire
find a file name in that folder that says
limewire.jar
(and under it says executable jar file it has a picture of a java coffee cup, at least mine does, about 7007kb)
click that once or twice

(c:\program files\limewire)

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.

Thank you so so much!!!
