![]() Try deleting LW's preference folder with LW completely shut down. See points 2 & 3 in this thread: Fixes for Limewire. This will reset all your option settings, so make a note of them first. I wonder if AOL might be to blame? See Wondering Why's post here: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/connec...tml#post281853

![]() Hi Bluebird, You might have a Java issue. Try this Uninstall any and all versions of Java from the Add/Remove Programs. Now Re-install the JRE 5.11 Offline version shown here. Archive: Download Java 2 Platform Standard Edition (J2SE) 5.0 Update 11. ![]() |

![]() I just googled frostwire and did not know it was the latest version and I have never really bothered updating my limewire because I have never had trouble with it until now? And I thought I had the best version? Limewire pro? Im not brilliant when it comes to computers and so if it works good for me I leave it and it was working great. I tried the java 5.11 and still same problem |
