Limewire crashes

I have version 4.9.30 basic, it ran fine for several days but when I trued to start it today it crashed when I tried to load it. I tried unsinstall/reinstall but it did not work.

My specs:

OS: WinXP Pro SP2
CPU: P4
Anti-Virus: Norton (auto-protect disabled while using LimeWire)

For me, I noticed that the 4.9.30 version used up a lot of memory, therefore it slowed everything down. Sometimes programs would freeze up on us.

I would not disable you AV when DL you are asking for a virus if you do that.

It doesn’t run slow or freeze. When I click on the icon it brings up a window saying Limewire has encountered a problem and must close.

LimeWire may have gotten corrupted some how possibly a virus do a virus scan. Preferably a boot scan


You will need to install Java and LimeWire manually First go to the first link.You can find Links to java in there Download Java to your hard drive by putting a mark in the save to disc box. Save it to my documents or wherever you save downloads from the internet. Do the same with LimeWire the second link will take you there.

Now with that done click on start then control panel add/remove programs and see if Java is listed on the list if it is uninstall it. Do the same with LimeWire if the un installers were not loaded you may have to manually delete the files. But in most cases this is not necessary.

Now click on the Java installer you saved to your hard drive and follow the instructions after you have completed that do the same with LimeWire.

Please post back and let us know if it worked. If it did not I will give further instructions on manually deleting Java and LimeWire.

Ok, I downloaded the off-line installers for both Limewire basic and java, I deleted both java and Limewire from my hard drive, booted from my Norton CD and ran a virus scan (which took 4 hours to complete) which came back negative. I then rebooted and ran a normal virus scan which also came back negative, reinstalled java and Limewire and it’s still crashing when I try to run it.

Have you recently add some new software or used any registry repair tools like Registry Mechanic or Norton Utilities that fix you registry.
