ignore my last post i got it going, i opened my eyes properly and found the tab, thanx so much coffeennicotene

Ohmigoodness, I had this exact same problem! But, once I deleted all of my Limewire files (including the ones in my preferences folder) and downloaded Java again, it ran like silk! Thanks a million!! :-)

The suggestions for getting Limewire to install and run on Windowas Vista worked like a charm from Wondering Why, It takes a little time and patience and you must follow his steps to the letter. BUT if you do as instructed , you get LW up and running fine with no errors,no conflicts and no freezes. Couldn't have done it better nor been any more clear and concise on what you have to do.Listen to the guy, he knows his stuff...... Thanks, bud. Dave.

I had the same problem. It stopped at 12% under WinXP. Then i did shift+rightclick on the limewire.exe => execute as ... Administrator. Although my user already WAS or at least seemed to be administrator on my machine, it worked then. At 12% the configuration wizard is opening when you start it for the 1st time. and thats what was blocked before. Hope it helps u as well.

Hi,

I read the great advice from coffee, but I cannot find the compatabilty tab when i right click on the limewire shortcut on my desktop. I see the "run as administrator" but not the compbatability. I'm going nuts!!!! Please help!! Thanks so much everyone

Right-click it, hit properties, then at the top there are multiple tabs. One is Compatibility. A third of the way down the screen, on that tab, there is a box to check that says "run in compatibility mode" and then a drop down box of OS's to run it with. Just let it choose XP. That's how it worked for me anyway. Good luck.

haha i feel a little stupid, thanks for your help..im up and running!!!

This does not seem to work in windows xp!


Get to 12% - then stalls - HELP!

Try these fixes edddiec...
Try uninstalling all versions of Java from the add/remove programs and then re-install the JRE 5.11 offline version....

If that does not help with your problem try deleting your preference folder/s...This will reset your configurations back to default and get rid of any corruption that may of happened...
