Help!!!!!!!(LW shuts down while loading)
 

I open limewire and the window appears and then for no reason it shuts down as soon as it has finished loading. And i have it set to be accepted in my security so nothing should block it.

I am on windows XP.
I have avast antivirus.
my firewall is on.

Please if you have an answer to this problem tell me, it wold be a really big help.

Thank you.

What version of Java are you using? Some people have had this problem if they're using either of the 2 latest Java updates (1.6.0_01 & _02). Try this version instead. Download the JRE offline installer & remove your current Java version(s) before you install this one.

If that doesn't help, delete LW's preferences folder when LW's properly closed. See point 3 here & also point 2 if you've used older versions of LW in the past (there could be a folder in either location).
Fixes for LimeWire
This will kill all of your settings within options, you'll have to go back through afterwards & reset things. If you're not sure of your settings, go through LW's tools > options & write them all down, so that you can reset things later.
