 Can't get rid of Limeshop reference in Config sys! Hi/ I just bought a new Toshiba laptop and tried to install an old version of Limewire from about 2002. It somehow automatically upgraded itself to the new beta version 4.17. I then deleted all the shortcuts on the desktop to Limeshop and the Cassino (betting shop) etc but then I got a pop-up message on startup that said... "Could not find the Main Class" I took my machine to the local computer repair shop and he installed the latest Java Runtime Engine: version 1.6.0_04 but it still gave the same message. So he then took the easy option and went into Config Sys. and disabled the below startup item... Java(TM) Platform SE6U4 | Command: jawaw -cp "C:\Program Files\Limeshop\System\Code" Main ip: "C:\Program Files\Limeshop" Location:HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Run However this has now left me with the little message that comes up at startup that some startup items have been disabled which fortunately fades out quickly. But that is not really satisfactory on a machine that is less than a month old! I have uninstalled all traces of Limewire/Limeshop as well as going into the registry and removing all traces of Limewire from there, as well as correcting every related item (that I could find) to point to the new java runtime environment 1.6.0_4 but still I get this little message about the above startup item being stopped at start-up. Or if I engage a normal start-up, I once again get the message that the "Main Class" item cannot be found! It's got me beat!!! I have tried everything I can think of to remove this reference to Limeshop from the System Cofiguration section in the Admistration settings including trying a little utility called Startup Control Panel which normally allows one to delete or move these start-up references, however every time I try to delete the reference in it to this Limeshop start-up item from within this utility it replaces itself with an exact copy of the above startup refereces??? and I'm just about at my wits end! I even tried downloading the "Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility" but it does'nt show any reference to Limewire/Limeshop so I can't remove it with that either. My next step is to take it to another repair person and see if he can go in through F2 (The Boot section) and maybe/hopefully remove it from in there. If that does'nt work the only hope I can see is to use my System Recovery Discs and return my system to its just purchased stage and hope that that works.(fingers crossed) I would deeply apreciate any worthwhile suggestions you people may have to hopefully avoid taking this drastic step. This is very frustrating and I'm so disapointed that my new machine has developed this bug in such a short time. I cannot think of anything more I can do. I've read all the forum items about Limeshop and none of them refer to this specific problem. I'm not a complete novice I did a course to level 3 at tech and I know a bit about going into the registry but I'm not totally confident in getting stuck right in, and maybe mucking more impotant things up. As I say any suggestions would be greatly apreciated as to how I can remove this reference to Limeshop from my new system. Yours hopefully... Last edited by RobertR; March 5th, 2008 at 12:26 AM.

| FIXED!!!! How I did it is written below. First I re-installed the old 2002 version of Limewire that had Limeshop in it then went to the Registry Editor (Run: regedit.exe) and from there went to (HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Run) there I found a reference to Limeshop which previously had not been there after uninstalling Liimewire in the incorrect manner ( I should have used the Windows uninstaller and uninstalled the two references to Limewire in there and then proceed in the manner which I'll try and explain here. After you find the Limeshop reference in the HKLM Software section, delete the whole reference to Limeshop from there. Then you should see that the reference to Limeshop in the System configuration section [Start-up](Run: config.sys) has been completely deleted and after a restart you can then delete the LimeShop folder in C:\Program Files and everything should be back to normal so that you can run a normal start-up from the normal section (Load all device drivers and services). The place to find with Run/RegEdit.exe and delete the reference to Limeshop is: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Run I'm so happy that I finally nailed this problem! For a while I thought I'd have to resort to using the Recovery Disc to set everything back to the way it was when I made the Recovery Disc set when I first got my computer. (phew!) The most important part is to re-install that old version again and don't just delete the folder that contains all the LimeShop data. During the re-istall of the old version it may say that it's trying to install an earlier version of the Java RTE but don't worry! it settles for the current RTE 1.6.0 and somehow?? also automatically upgrades itself to the new 4.17 beta version of Limewire. (The only hold-up is might be that it insists on having a music download folder in a place other than your ordinary C:\ folder section. I just put a folder called Music downloads in Desktop\Users\robert and everything went along OK.) Most importantly don't just remove the Limeshop folder from within C:\Program Files as this will prevent you from deleting the reference from within the :System configuration section. (Run: config.sys) Leave the Limeshop folder where it is until you go into your registry editor and delete the section pointing to Limeshop from there. This problem had me pulling my hair out! But after re-installing the old 2002 version and proceeding as above all the pop-up error messages at start-up have stopped and my system is back to 100% I'm no genius when it comes to using the Registry editor, (it's a bit scary for me too!) but don't worry, provided you follow the steps outlined above you should have no troubles whatsoever. I'll keep my eye on this section of the forum for the next couple of weeks in case anyone else has the same problem and requires a little help. Good luck and..... Yippeeeee!!!!!!!!
