ok - I dont know why this is happening -- can you download/install a different version of Limewire Then re-install limewire using the offline installer...To find the offline installer, use the link below > cancel the installer window when it pop's up and then select the offline installer link...Lime Wire » Download LimeWire

If not then i guess this is the way that i will have to go to get lime wire running

could u plz informe me back on which way to go????

Brendan

hi brendan, well yr present version isnt working at the moment so I just thought to give a different version a go to see if it downloads ok -- if it doesnt go back to yr original version --- it's abit of trial and error here to see what will work -- give it a go and let us know how you got on
dont forget to use the Limewire uninstall and to delete the Limewire folder as I have said in previous posts

Brendan

goodmorning Brendan, ok lets try this -- delete yr current java 6.0 from the add/remove programs list and install this older version 5.0 from here:-
Archive: Download Java 2 Platform Standard Edition (J2SE) 5.0 Update 11
Download the JRE offline installer & remove any other Java versions (via Add/Remove Programs) before installing another one.

Brendan,

If updating the latest java version doesnt fix yr problem have a look at this:-

go to yr limewire icon on yr desktop:-
right click on the LW icon -> properties -> compatibility. For XP, try running in compatibility mode for Win 2000 or NT. For Vista, run in compatibility mode for XP.
