LimeWire won't open It has been a week or 2 since I used LimeWire and it has been working fine. But I tried to open it today and it won't do it. I click on the icon and it isn't opening. Every morning when I start my computer, I do get a message saying that something bridge.dll can't be found, but the rest of my computer works no problem. I can get email, I can go on internet, etc. Does anyone have any ideas, what is happening? Hope you can help me. CARINA |

I guess no one knows. Oh well. Guess I won't be able to download for now then. Hopefully it will fix it self. Another question: If I would delete LimeWire of my computer would all my downloaded music go lost too? Or can I move them to another folder and they will then stay? CARINA |

Go to the Start menu, Programs>LW>Uninstall. No your downld folder won't be affected. Then re-downld the installer (choose the offline installer) & try installing again. It sounds to me like your registry needs a clean but I'm not a windows expert. Oh & please read the forum rules which are posted at the top of every section of the forum. Too many new members are not reading them; Forum Rules (click here) These are the Limewire sections: Limewire Forum sections Post in the wrong place & nobody will answer your thread. |

Thanks for that. I just did that, but it still won't work. So, no clue how to fix that RUNDLL thing, I guess it has to do with that then. Also thanks for the clearance of where to post things. It really isn't very clear what to post where. CARINA |

Not sure if this is the right place, can someone help? I already posted this in a different area, as I couldn't figure out where to put my problem, and I was told it wasn't. So, hope the place is right here. It has been a week or 2 since I used LimeWire and it has been working fine. But I tried to open it a few days ago and it won't do it. I click on the icon and it isn't opening. Every morning when I start my computer, I do get a message saying that something bridge.dll can't be found, but the rest of my computer works no problem. I can get email, I can go on internet, etc. Does anyone have any ideas, what is happening? I have already uninstalled Limewire and installed it back again, but that didn't do the trick either. It just must have something to do with that RUNDLL module, but I don't know how to fix that. Hope someone can help me. CARINA |

The only references of dll i can find on the forum either refer to viruses or drivers. lol I did find this one: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...&highlight=DLL I wonder if you should try the 'Other' version. If you go to the LW downld page, you'll see at the bottom an option for 'Other' & after downlding all you do is unzip it & use it. (an old sample image sorry!) (BTW try to keep all your posts about one topic in the one thread. I moved your threads & merged them. Also use the user cpm button above & press the f.a.q. button to learn how to use the different functions on the forum.) Last edited by Lord of the Rings; September 9th, 2005 at 05:59 AM. |

Thanks Lord of the Rings. And FAbion, I did try what you suggested about the repair connection, I did that and it still won't open. I don't think there was anything wrong with that, otherwise I wouldn't be able to go online at all. I deleted a programme last week, something Java and I think with that it must have taken that bridge something out. I will have a look if I can find something in the XP Support though. CARINA |

Did you reinstall Java. Sometimes people have problems with one particular version on their setup be that 1.5 or 1.4.2 & swapping over to the other can sometimes fix problems with LW. See Fixes for Limewire for tips. |

If you removed java from your system LimeWire won't work. LimeWire requires java to operate. LOTR has put a link that has the java links. In windowsXP start>control panel>add or remove programs --- see if you have a program called J2SE Runtime Enviroment 5.0 Update 4 or something similar. If that is missing you do not have java installed, and need to install it for LW to work/run. It is also possible that the java for some unknown reason may have been corrupted. You can remove from the add or remove programs, and try a fresh installtion. Just follow the instructions in the link LOTR left in his post. I suggest d/l the offline installation version, if you need to reinstall it. |
