hi to everyone.i have windows vista and i'd never had a problem using it.but now when i double-click the desktop icon it doesn't even opens the program.it just shows the limewire picture and then nothing.i tried to reinstall it,i downloaded the latest java definitions the newest version of lw but still nothing.what can i do?

Hi all. I'm having the issue with Limewire Basic on Vista where it can't create a settings directory. I've followed the guide to the Roaming folder, but there is nothing called Limewire in this folder. I noticed several people have had this problem as well, and couldn't find an answer to help. Has anyone found a reason for the limewire not showing in the roaming folder?

Preference folder in vista is found here

C:\Users\your username\AppData\Roaming\LimeWire ß(Preference Folder)
See the limewire link below for (how to show hidden files in vista) now you should see the LimeWire Folder

I have the hidden folders unhidden, but for some reason when I get to the Roamer folder, there is no Limewire folder. I'm at work right now so I'll check when I get home, maybe shutting down the computer helped and for some magical reason it suddenly shows. Will let you know but I'm not expecting anything different!

I've just got in and had a look. There is definatly no Limewire folder. There are other hidden folders showing, but no Limewire folder

limewire needs to be closed - close lw and do it again pse -- if the problem remains the same find out what version of java you are using -- try the latest. Download using the "OFFLINE" installer -- remove your current java version (start > control panel > add or remove program)-- if you are still having problems try an older version from here (Archive: Download Java 2 Platform Standard Edition (J2SE) 5.0 Update 11)
Remove all versions of java before you install
