![]() 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. Malware Removal - MajorGeeks Support Forums Here are a few other Malware Removal sites suggested by Birdy. If you still need help, try one of the sites below...they're more specialised in helping with malware issues Spyware Warrior :: Index CastleCops® » Security Forums SpywareInfo Forum FAQ - SWI Forums Hope this helps. ![]() |

![]() 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. |

![]() 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?? ![]() |

![]() 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 ).
