Nope still didn't work. Installed it as admin and still the little back box. Even uninstalled all java and lime wire and cracks for it. Ran as admin reinstalled and same thing. Very annoying bug, seeing as others got it working with little trouble.

Did you reboot your computer?

Other things I can think of trying:
Go to the programs folder, find LW and right-click and choose Properties, Owner tab, edit and add your admin account to it if it is not already listed.
Find the LW shortcut on desktop, right-click and choose Run as Admin.
Just to check the shortcuts installed properly, go the the LW program folder > lib > LimeWire.jar file and double-click it.

If those do not work, would you consider uninstalling 64-bit java and only utilizing the 32-bit Java?
Control panel > Programs & Features, find 64-bit Java and uninstall.

(Strange, I updated Java from 7_09 to 7_10, restarted computer and the Java CP still said I had version 7_09. Reinstalled with offline & same thing.)

Failing all of this, you may need to step back to Java 6. Disable or uninstall Java 7; disabling can be done via the Java control panel under the Java tab.

Tell me the name of this creep who gave you weird nicknames and i shall have him banned ;

You, so good luck.

Happy new year robin ;

If LW does not connect for you, try FrostWire or Phex instead. FrostWire looks very similar to the older LW 4 version. Phex is not a LW copy and has its own design.
If they struggle to connect, then there are connectfixes for them also. If none of them connect then there must be some other kind of problem.

Never heard of them. What versions should I try?

For FrostWire, either 4.20.9 or 4.21.8. I preferred 4.20.9 and it connected faster for me.
For Phex, there's only one version for Windows available.

BTW I think you misunderstood runt66's attempt to help you last year. He was not trying to insult you in any way or form. Just a misunderstanding.

Helping me, does not include making up nicknames.

I downloaded 4.20.9 version but it only has one green bar for the start up connection.

Also what info is there on Frostwire 5? I keep getting pop ups to upgrade to it.
