Limewire just stopped starting
 

I have had Limewire for about 2 weeks now. It was working wonderfully! I love it to death... it doesn't seize control of the computer like Morpheus would so i can still browse whild downloading... however... my friends dad ran a few things in System mechanic 5 and now it won't work. i click on the application and it does the lil "please wait" hourglass thing for like a fraction of a second then just doesn't do anything. I have tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it a few times now and it hasn't helped at all... i don't know what to do or why it won't work... i'm really clueless... i have tried everything i can think of. if anyone can help me fix it i will love them forever...

Try deleting your LW Preferences folder whilst LW is closed; instructions here: Fixes for Limewire If that doesn't work, uninstall & then re-install Java.

Yes i have the EXACT same problem!!! i would be interested in knowing the fix for this obviosly common problem!?

Would you provide the following informatiom:

Computer type and CPU
Windows version and sp
HDD
RAM
Firewalls
LimeWire Version
Java Version
Display Adapter type and model no.

Maybe System Mechanic removed a registry entry that's needed. You can always roll that back. Are you trying to use a shortcut to open it? Go to the Limewire folder and open Limewire.jar
