If this none of these versions work, then I guess LimeWire sucks. It must hate your computer. Sorry. :-(

TruStarwarrior, you are a savior! The 118 download works, thx man! what is the difference of the 118 and the current one? is it the icon missing down in the Start bar???

Upon installing Limewire 1.6d and clicking on the shortcut, the application failed to load (or do anything for that matter).

Originally my shortcut was pointed to the following path:

C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\javaw.exe -cp . RunLime

I was able to get Limewire to load by changing it to the following path:

C:\WINDOWS\javaw.exe -cp . RunLime

It now works like a champ! I have no idea why the shortcut set up by the installer points to the wrong path... :-(

Anyway, this fix works!

Alternate version 118 uses the old version of Java (1.1.8) as opposed to the newer one (1.3.1). When LimeWire migrated to the newer Java, an incompatability arose that should be fixed in future releases.

I woulldn't be surprised if the JRE didn't install. You might want to run the 1.6d installer again or go get the JRE installer directly from Sun:

I had the same problem that Limewire wouldnt start when I click on the Icon. I checked in my Add/remove Programs box for the "old" Java 2 runtime Environment 1.2.1 or whatever but I didnt even find the 1.3.1 one. The only one that I had installed was the 1.3.0 one. So i gouess you just wanna make sure that you have the newest version installed (available at http://java.sun.com/Download5). It worked for me

Ive done everything. and when i try to do the new path thing mine was alrady there so i thought maybe if i change it to the systems one it will work WRONG ive modified repaired and uninstall over 20 times ive checked the site and still i come up with nothing ive downloaded 1.7 1.6 and the gnutella version all wont work I GET THE SAME THING ABSOLUTELYNOTHING I AM SO PEEVED

HELP PLEASE also if this helps when i click on java anything it does the same thing just sits there doesnt load

uninstall lime wire, then uninstall java.
