Limewire freezes
 

I have uninstalled and reinstalled limewire versions 4.14.1 and limewire 4.12.6 several times each, but I still have the same problem with both versions everytime.

I'm also using Java(Tm)6 update 2, and I was using an earlier version of Java before that, but limewire support said to uninstall and reinstall limewire and java, so I have several times.


But here's what happens everytime. Once limewire is installed, and then it starts to run, then a Language Options Display pops up as to choose a language, but when you try to click on the arrow to select a language it locks up, and everything else on the display locks up too, so you can't even click on the continue or next button, because it locks up too.

I tried restarting the computer, but it still locks up the same way when I relaunch limewire. I actually have to click on control,alternate, & delete to click out of the display.

Please! Can anyone help me? I'm using a Hp computer using windows XP

Wondering why,

I just did everything you said to do with both the java and limewire, but it did the same exact thing as I stated above. So that's several versions of java & limewire both now, and all doing the same thing. I just don't get it. I don't know what to do.

What security are you using ??
Some scanners think that there is spyware in limewire (which there isn't)...

Close to the same problem
 

I'm actually having the same type of problem. I installed and have been using Lime wire 4.14.1 a little over a week ago with virtually no problems and then today it has started freezing up. I open the program and it gets to the stage where it begins to connect and the locks up every time I try it. I have un-installed and re-installed several times. I have even gone through the trouble of re-downloading the installer program and still it keeps locking up. Any suggestions that can help?
