I just updated LimeWire, because it sometimes wouldn't open up. The start-up splash would come up, but the nothing. So now that I've updated it, the Start up splash comes up, but it never opens at all!

Everytime I try, a new .txt file is generated in the LimeWire folder. Here's one...

Does this mean I need to update Java or something? I've tried everything else but that because I don't want to wait while my crappy 56 K DL's a 15 MB file.

It does look perhaps like your java is corrupt or something. If you still have the Java 1.4.2 installer then uninstall what's there using the Add/Remove programs control panel & re-install it. Else, update to Java 1.5

But I would strongly recommend against installing Java over the net. Instead, install from your computer. If you need the installer then downld the installer & then install it. If you need the 15 MB downld then I guess it'd take about 1 hr or less to downld on dial up.

BTW if you're still using LW 4.8.1 or earlier then try this: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=39684 change to win 2k compatibility OR http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=39536 OR Fix for opening Limewire "Fatal Error Message"
