![]() SWORNNME69 Hi man. Yes now jre-1.5.12 is out & running fine, so choose that one. If that don't fix things, I would do a complete clean sweep. Follow these instructions exactly. So, you need to Go, Start/All Programs/LimeWire n Uninstall all L/W versions. Do Not Uninstall From Change or Remove Programs. Re BOOT Your computer NOW Now Go to, Start/Search/click on all files n folders/more advanced options/ & make sure, case sensitive, is not ticked. (all other boxes should be ticked) Now!!, Put limewire in box, (all or part of file name) & click search. Delete everything found, including Prefetch folder, (I mean everything) Re BOOT Your computer NOW. Now! Go to, START/Set Program Access/Change or Remove Programs, now completely remove all versions of java. Re BOOT Your computer NOW. Now! Use this Blue Link to get "Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 5.0 Update 12" Use the off line installer, NOT the (recommended) one, 4th one down. Java SE Downloads - Previous Release - JDK 5 When Download is completed. Disconnect from internet, close ALL apps n reinstall java. Now!! Use this link to download latest L/W version using the off line installer LimeWire If you need help, Shout, If it fixed your problem or not, Feedback helps others. Peace

![]() I'm having a similar problem to Sworn, if not the same one. My connection strength is always full, I can search and plenty of results come up, but whenever I attempt to download, I always get "Need More Sources". This must be related to a firewall, as the firewall status always shows the brick wall for me. I've done everything on this thread, including creating a static IP and configuring my router, and i just did the entire clean sweep as described in your most previous post (Mickjapa). So any other ideas on what my problem may be? Thanks a bunch, if you need any additional information please ask. -TF |

![]() Ah, also, I've been checking a number of threads regarding this issue, but I decided to post on this one as your answers seem to be on the money and helpful. So on another note, I also did the bug report test shown at http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...757#post103757 and my result was: Recieved incoming this session: false According to Grandpa's post at http://www.gnutellaforums.com/downlo...cted-slow.html this means I have a firewall problem for sure, hope this helps, later, -TF |
