Message keeps popping up
 

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)
