I'm having the same problem. It starts right up and then suhts down after 1 second. I'm running Windoze 2000.

Is there a patch, solution?

This is apparantly happening on a LOT of Win2k machines...


Add four more to the mix.

Is Java available on your machine?

I think that if we didn't have Java, it wouldn't show up at all. But if you have it, mostly it just shows up, you click on it, it shuts down. Bugger spyware! Bugger all!

Opens, then closes. I'll try 1.7.

Win2K running Sygate PFS firewall

This problem should be fixed in LimeWire 1.8c, available at www.limewire.com.

Still no good. 1.8c does the same thing. I just downloaded it on a clean-wipe machine, brand new install. Splash page comes up, program window comes up, 2 seconds, the whole thing shuts off.

yeah 1.8c on win2k no other web aps not even a firewall are installed - screen appears then poof limewire does a quick exit....
what gives?

The Cydoor ad engine is not getting installed properly. I will look into this further and try to fix the problem.

Thanks.
