LimeWire 4.10.14 does not start

[wo_jules]

Hi everyone,

I recently moved from a 5-year old Sony Vaio notebook running LimeWire to the following:
HP Compaq 5700 Microtower
Intel Dual Pentium PC
Microsoft Windows Professional 2002 SP2
McAfee VirusScan 12.0.176
McAfee Personal Firewall 9.0.136
The firewall allows full access to LimeWire.

Upon migrating, I downloaded LimeWire 4.10.14. It worked.

However, for the last couple of days whenever I start LimeWire 4.10.14, it stops at:
12% Loading HTML Engine
and never goes anywhere. It just sits there.

I have uninstalled LimeWire 4.10.14, redownloaded LimeWire 4.10.14, and reinstalled the redownloaded version a number of times, including rebooting the entire system at various stages inbetween.

I'm not sure but the problem may have started after I installed the software for my Creative Zen Vision "M" series MP3 player.

Is anyone aware of a conflict between this and my LimeWire version? Is there anything else I should be looking for?

I appreciate any and all help I can get.

Jules

Try the advice here: stuck @ 12 %(loading HTML engine...)

Some of that advice might be aimed at Vista users, but updat1ng Java & deleting the preferences folder will hopefully fix things for you
