I have Windows XP, limewie version 4.12.11, java versions in my add/remove prgrams fodler include J2SE 5.0 update 10, update 11, update 5, update 6, update 8, update 9, Java runtime SE 1.4.a_03 and Java access bridge, JAva update 3.
I have DSl modem,, ISP is ATT,
test worked,
do I delte all teh JAVA's excpet the update 11 or delete everythign that says Java and reinstall the update 11?
I have limewire pro, paid for it, if I delete it do I have to pay for it all over again?
So an offline installer means save it to my computer and then install later, correct? Downloaded the gutnella file for when I am ready to go through this whole thing. I am confused mostly by the Java since it seems I have so many updates...not sure what I need or if I can delete some or all.

I deleted the .limewire folder and tried to open my limewire and it would not let me. Why should it, right? I just deleted it..back to try again....

you will try everything I think It is a bug in the new 1.14 update of limewire. I am going crazy trying everything that has been posted. I've been working on getting it up and running now for days. As you can see i am going stir crazy. Time to stop trying.

EVERYBODY!!!!!!!!!!!!! To solve most of these one bar connection problems, just uninstall your version of Java and install the latest version of Java. This works. Don't worry about messing around with files that might end up in tragedy when you cant get everything back the way it was. Just install the latest version of Java. It won't mess with your files or anything like that.(I have an iPod that inhabits almost 800 files, there's not way I could delete everything and start over, so I get everyone's desperation completely)
I really really really hope this helps everyone. Don't worry with looking through folders and files that probably aren't even 1% of the problem. If you've indeed tried this and there is still no hope, I totally can't help you. I think it's ridiculous that you have to've paid a lot of money to get any kind of tech support, but if it wasn't for someone named Birdy who helped me out and saved my sanity from total annihilation, I wouldn't be able to pass on this awesome knowledge. ~Dramatic bow~ Again, I hope this helps.
