I double click my Limewire icon on my desktop. Then, the LimeWire thing pops up and it is about to show that it is loading LimeWire, but it then disappears. I check my taskbar and such and LimeWire isn't there, but it usually is. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling LimeWire from the limewire website, but that doesn't work. I have restarted my computer, and that doesn't work.

You could try deleting your preferences folder (instructions in link):

Fixes for Limewire

Or, you could try going into the Limewire folder (under program files) and click on the Limewire executable jar file.

Good Luck :idea:

The preferences folder thing didn't work, but I'm confused about the jar file thing. I can't seem to find it. Could you give me a bit more detail on how to find it?
