Anyone know how to get rid of this popup that keeps on telling me that my limewire program has errors.

It starts like this........

LimeWire version 4.10.0
Java version 1.5.0_03 from Sun Microsystems Inc.
Windows XP v. 5.1 on x86
Free/total memory: 2793360/4128768

STARTUP ERROR!

etc etc etc

It is driving me crazy

I'd suggest removing Java using your Add/remove programs control panel. Then re-installing using the "Offline" Java installer: Java 1.5 (take the JRE) which is about a 15 MB download.

Also, delete your LW Preferences folder whilst LW is closed; instructions here: Point #2 & 3 in Fixes for Limewire (sample image included at bottom of page.)

If still problems, try step 5 in the previous link about changing compatibility mode of LW to either windows 2000 or NT.

I've done what you suggest and still the message pops up.

I have even removed limewire from my computer so that I can start afresh. How can limewire still load when I have got rid of it

How did you remove it? Using the add/remove control panel is the wrong way.

I'd suggest you use this utility to clean out the registry: http://www.ccleaner.com/

Then try this version which requires no installation: "Other" If you still have problems then there is an alternative installer. You just unzip it & use it. See Here about other version.

Make sure you configured your softw firewall & your modem/router's internal NAT firewall Connection problems? Check here first! (click on link)
