Fella's & Ladies,

What's up with our LW???? I've used it for quite some time and no all of a sudden, NOTHING. I started another forum days ago and the responses didn't help at all. And that forum's responses and replies have come to a screeching halt.

I too cannot connect. I've changed my NIS 2004 preferences AND turned the entire program off as well. I've removed JAVA and re-installed it. I've removed my LW 4.8 and uploaded to LW 4.12.11. I've read all the removes, turn off's, shut down, download, upload, un-install, re-install responses that LW peeps have recommended. And have done them all.

It seems to me that A LOT of LW users are having this problem and are equally frustrated. Is there anyone that can help us? Thank you to that special person who will save us!!!

I'm by far no expert, but it seems it's a Java bug and by suggesting to people to roll back to the JRE 5.11 seems to be the most logical answer at the moment...

01din...
Delete the .Limewire folder and then re-start and delete the LimeWire folder...

That Java link works fine ?? and the 5th one down is for the JRE (Java Runtime Enviroment) 5.11...

No such luck. I've tried it before and did it again, just incase I've missed something. Any other suggestions...........PLEASE!!!

Are you still using the 4.8 or have you kept the upgrade...
With Java did you uninstall the 6.1 before you downloaded and installed the 5.11 and if so what version are you running now...

Thanks for your reply. Sorry it took so long to get onto here.

Yes, I did uninstall Java before re-installing it. Currently I'm running
"J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 11."

I'm currently running LW 4.12.11.

I hope this helps some.
