I see both of you are using SATA on Vista may be the problem may not be.

I can't freakin believe it, but it is a driver, and i found it.

Valus, do you have alcohol 120 installed ?


Azureus closes immeaditely after opening

After reading that again, maybe it's a problem with "AxShlex.dll" ? Grandpa had me steaming mad at drivers, so after removing Alcohol 120 Limewire now works, and I just suspected the virtual drive driver. Maybe not. But I'll sure look into this closer. I've been trying to get this to work forever without luck, until now.

Update:

Reinstalled Alcohol 120, but renamed "AxShlex.dll" to "AxShlex.dll.OLD".
My Limewire is still working. So, I've found what was killing it for me. Working fine now.

Thanks for the info errorcauser it will be helpful in the future.

I assume that's fixed your problem as well Valus, you've signed out and not returned. I want to thank you for even starting this thread, because true enough, I'd gave up on getting Limewire to work. And I want to thank Gandpa for prodding me along. Thanks, to the both of you.

haha i found a fix but it was with Java/Limewire

and i had to pick up my wife from a party thats why i logged didn't get bakc home till 4am,

anyways,

what i did was I un-installed JAVA completly from my system and let Limewire install it's version of Java and bam it works.

I then uninstalled Limewire/Java and re-installed Java 6 and limewire again and same issues.

I also found that installing a Torrent Program also correct Limewire and makes it run.

Previously none of my systems had any torrent download program, I Decided to install Bitcomet, and what do you know after installing bitcomet with Limewire/Java 6 install Limewire happens to work(sort of).

I then uninstalled Bitcomet and bam stopd working again.

And i also tested your issue with Alcohol 120, I have the same results as if it weren't instaleld if i run the same test again.

As of right now,

Java 5.03(which Limewire installs) works,

Java 6 with Limewire doens't

If i donwload any version of Java from Java itself it also doesn't work(even the 5.03).

Java 6 with Bitcomet installed Partialy works(2 of my servers work fine with it though)

All have same results with Alchohol 120 installed or not installed.

Now did you install Azureus prior to Limewire working or after it working?

Becaus ei have the impression that there is someting within these programs that correct limewire into working

Also "Azureus does not work when Alcohol is installed"
SourceForge.net: Azureus Help / Support

No no, I've never had Azureus installed. I only posted that link for referencing the bottom two replies on that page. I have however installed Bit Comet at one time or another, but uninstalled it. I do have utorrent installed.

All I know is, I seen what was posted on the page that I posted the link to, and uninstalled Alcohol and nearly fell over in the floor and turned blue when I opened Limewire and it stayed open.

I've been wrestling with it for sometime, and never pinpointed it to Alcohol being the problem. I can tell you that Bit Comet WILL cause a cascading effect running it under Windows XP when you visit the Windows Update page. On the right hand side of your browser window, it'll open the same thing several times when visiting Windows Update making Windows Update useless. It's the BHO that Bit Comet installs, remove it, and Windows Updates works as it should under Windows XP.

Anyway, im sure glad you found some sort of solution. Thanks man !

WELL WELL WELL VALUS

It appears that if you would have taken my advice a few post back you could have solved your problem much sooner. Thanks for letting us know it was a bad Java install. And by the way Java 6 works fine with LimeWire on Vista if it installs properly. I run Java 6 on all of my computers.

umm did you even read my post????

The installs of Java are fine, Every other program works the only program that doens't work is Limewire which for some reason will only work with the Java 5.03 which Limewire itself installs.

Now the reasoning i've been getting from you guys if it works with everything else then its that one thing.

And according to that reasoning then it would be Limewire again.

and let me explain again since somehow you completly did not get my post b4.

if i go to JAVA's website and Download Any Version from their site, whether it's online/offline installation Limewire does not work.

How ever when i Install Limewire and let Limewire install it's Version of Java, Limewire works.(this would suggested a modified Java or Outdated Version of Java that Java does not have[or more so they updated they're version of 5.03] menaing thats why it works)

Now also if i was to install Java 6 from JAVA, and install Limewire, It will not work, But on 2 of my systems if i were to install bitcomet then limewire will work, which suggest that there is some modified file that both programs use but Bitcomet updates that allows the program to function Properly.

Now i'm my Machine when i try this, i'm able to get past the splash screen, and then the Setup menu appears, asking me about where i want the save file directory and what Bandwidth speed i have, once i finish setting this up then the program crash's again.

Now with bit comet not installed i never got the Prefernce thing to come up, limewire woiuld crash before that would ever come up.

Now in all likely hood the reaosn why theres not alot of people having this problem is due in part to them not having Java 6 installed and that Limewire install it's Version which then would install the 5.03 and thus no problem like this.

Also i have not tried updating my version of Java to JAVA 6 now to see if Limewire will continue to work.

If i do Upgrade to Limewire 6 and it stops working again then Limewire is not compatible with Java 6, OR..... there is a Posibilty that there is a conflict with yoru software and some other program with JAVA 6.

I'll update Java 6 now and see what happens.

Figures Updating to Java 6, makes Limewire stop working again weaksauce.

So since you say Limewire works fine with Java 6 then there is a Conflict with a Program most likely in Java 6.

Now conisdering If every other program works fine with Each other in Java 6 and Limewire is the only one having an issue among these program wouldn't that fall into compatibility issue???

Edit,

just un-installed Java 6 and bam works fine again, well there you have it.

I guess the problem lies in a conflict on your machines between LimeWire and some other software/Hardware you are running. As you can see in the image attached below it works fine on my machine/machines.
