If yes, > If LimeWire Will Not Load

and, maybe > Fixes For Limewire When LW Isn't Operating As It Should

My Limewire is working again. All I did was get rid of all of the java files and then downloaded the newest version. This did the trick. The only mistake I made was getting rid of my entire library of songs. Luckily they are already saved in windows media player.

Thanks again,

Dennis

Glad you are 'on the air' again ! :idea:

btw... Perhaps your files are not 'gone' > If you've updated LW and can't find your downloads!

I did uninstall limewire before I saw your post. I really think they are gone. Is there anyway I can take the tunes out of windows media player and put back into limewire?

Thanks,

Dennis
