Small problem; need some help, please! (LW not opening)
 
Hello folks. I'm having technical difficulties trying to even upload after double clicking the icon and booting up with the Limewire program. What happens is the icon pop ups with what looks like a uploading/time bar near the bottom of the icon [in the middle of my screen]...

Nothing happens after that. Icon pops up, then goes away. Nothing happens. Can somebody help me out? Thanks! :idea:

Java Errors
 
I can't run Limewire because everytime I attempt to run it, I get a notepad file. I read it and it says there's a Java access error. Somebody help me please. :D

What version of Java are you using? Try this version. Download the JRE offline installer & remove any other Java versions before you install this one.
Archive: Download Java 2 Platform Standard Edition (J2SE) 5.0 Update 11

If that doesn't help, delete LW's preferences folder when LW's properly closed. See point 3 here & also point 2 if you've used older versions of LW in the past (there could be a folder in either location).
Fixes for LimeWire
This will kill all of your settings within options, you'll have to go back through afterwards & reset things. If you're not sure of your settings, go through LW's tools > options & write them all down, so that you can reset things later.
And in case you're using Vista: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/genera...der-vista.html

Now reinstall LW & make sure to use the offline installer (when you click to download LW & the dialog box pops up, cancel it & you'll see an option to download the offline installer).

If it's still not opening, try changing compatibility (point 5 in the 'fixes' thread).
