I did go through all those steps as well....Seems I've done everything that's been suggested here....

I'm really going through LimeWire withdrawals here......I don't know what else to do.......

I've got 1 gig of memory...a 80 and a 200 gig hard drive....XP PRO...Nortons antivirus and ZoneAlarm....I've got XP firewall turned off....When I redo my system I zero it out to factory settings and start from scratch.....

I redo my system about every 6 months, so it's not like I don't know what I'm doing...LimeWire has always started before.....I know it's LimeWire, because I redid it once...put in LimeWire and nothing else....no updates no programs....Even turned off the firewall...and still nothing...HELP

RDB, Try this.

2 probs (LW keeps restarting & can't access options)

If no help, I suggest this.

This is probably one of the best help Forums for Malware I've found. Just another suggestion.

I am just about ready to cry. I heard this was a cool program and was going to try and find a CD that has been out of print.

I have:
Windows Vista
Trend Microantivirus 2007
Spysweeper
Windows Firewall
Windows Defender

I am on a DSL connection through windstream.net and I do not live in an apt. complex.

I have tried everything listed and have been doing so for about 4 1/2 hours. If I don't find a solution soon, I will just give up.

java script are you using -- fo find this out open limewire click on

questions.

LW links are changed at times to match the current problems.

I am using Limewire 4.14.12 (just downloaded around 3:00 pm today) never worked, never used this program before.

Java 1.3.0_03

I tried the previous Java version and it didn't help. It updated itself afterwards.

I have done the tests and it says false and it still shows a blocked firewall. I have looked at all settings and it is ok.

LimeWire: 4.14.10 Java: 1.6.0_03......

I've been doing scans suggested here:WARNING: Viruses on network you should be aware of! So far nothing has shown up...I've done the first 3 programs and Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool......I'm trying them all...or is it a waste of time??

oh i forgot to say there has been nothing coming up with these scans.....

Did I mention that my husband can conect with no problem on his computer

lanita -- I see you have tried most things what about this --

uninstall JRE-6 (java script) and download the older version – JRE-5 from here:- (I had this problem 3 mths ago and it worked ).
