connection problems also
 
Hi
I have had this problem as well and re-installed twice. After reading these posts I installed crapcleaner and used it. Checked my java platform too, but before I did anything else, I searched and found all the limewire files in my computer. I was able to open limewire from there even though I couldn't open it from anywhere else. Also, it seems that if limewire is in the "tray" perhaps you can't open it from anywhere else. Anyway, I pursue because I really like Limewire!

So did you get your limewire to finally connect?

i was having connection problems as well, which started happening about a week ago after i've used limewire for many years without having any problems whatsoever. i did exactly what mick suggested. i uninstalled all my versions of java and limewire. i rebooted my computer. then i searched for any other files of limewire on my computer, i then deleted those, rebooted my computer once again. then i installed the offline version of the java (JDK5) and i installed limewire once again, and now it works! i am completely connected to the network and able to continue with my downloading needs. thanks for the help, mick. :) hope it works for you all as well.

Just un-installed everything and re-installed everything and Im still in the same spot I was a few hours ago... not connecting to Limewire... Can I use limewire anymore or is it impossible?

keven - i have done everythin you have done including being on the phone with my cable people for an hour connecting and unconnecting routers and calling friends. i also downloaded blobster, another music downloading program and it wont connect either and their help menu is telling me to do the same thing as limewire is,
i think the government has taken over the internet and we cant download music anymore !!!......

Another thought.... Why does limewire say there is a firewall detected even after I turn off my windows firewall and router firewall??

Does anyone know how to get this program to work? This is getting to be ridiculous, I think Ive tried everything

Keven2002 May 18th, 2007 03:00 PM

OK so ive pretty much tried everything on here twice and nothing has worked.... Starting to think my days on Limewire are over.

I tried to use limewire on my laptop and the same thing is happening ( tries to connect but never actually does)

I think it worked
 
Yes, I connected, but I'm not sure what worked. I'm pretty sure it was clicking on limewire when it came up in my searched files. I read somewhere also that if it is in the tray, you might have to open it there. I haven't closed it yet, want to get as much done as I can before I do. did you try clicking on it in your tray or from a search?

Another thing, it's almost as easy to uninstall it and install it again, it installs so fast

strictmom May 18th, 2007 08:25 PM

Use the tray!
 
Okay, so I closed Limewire, tried the desktop icon and it didn't work. so I clicked on the tiny icon in the "tray", that's the icons in the lower right hand corner of your computer, and that works.
Hope it works for you guys.
