Hi,

I am running Windows XP and recently had the TR/StartPage.qr.DLL virus. I removed the virus by running AboutBuster, CleanUp, CWShredder and Ad-Aware. Everything appeared to be fine afterwards.

I have configured three users on the PC the only problem is when I run Limewire as one user it works fine but with the other two it fails to start with the error message below. I have reinstalled Java, Limewire and deleted the .limewire folder. Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,
John.

LimeWire version 4.8.1
Java version 1.5.0_04 from Sun Microsystems Inc.
Windows XP v. 5.1 on x86
Free/total memory: 467936/6971392

See Fix for opening Limewire "Fatal Error Message"

Thanks for the reply. It's now fixed.

I searched the forum before posting but I didn't spot the fix.

By the way I can spell FATAL it was just a typo ;-)

John.
