 Limewire Can't Open! I installed Limewire (Pro) today (my friend gave me a CD). It was working fine and I downloaded a couple of songs already. Suddenly, my computer started slowing down and eventually kinda froze. I restarted it (after how many tries) and when it finally restarted, I click to open Limewire and it won't open. It doesn't respond when I command it to open. There are no error messages or whatever...basically, nothing happens. I realized it's also happening with my Norton Antivirus 2002 and my Java Web Start. No response. What's wrong with it and how do you fix it ASAP?  P.S. I uninstalled LW and then re-installed it. Still nothing. Help!  |

| Make sure you haven't been attacked by a virus!!! Check your system over with a av program with up to date definitions. WARNING: Viruses on network you should be aware of! Did you configure your firewall so it allows LW full access (advisable not to have 2 active firewalls b/c they can interfere with each other); Firewall configuration instructions (click on link) Try deleting your LW Preferences folder whilst LW is closed; instructions here: Point #2 in Fixes for Limewire (sample at bottom of page.) Can you give us a total desciption of your set up: 1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98) 2. What firewalls you have? 3. How much ram? 4. Hard Disk space available? 5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) 6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? 7. Where are you trying to connect from (home, school, work, etc.)? 8. What version of Limewire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version. 9. Who is your isp provider (Internet Service Provider)? 10. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up.
