i'm been reading some threads on here and i've tried most of the troubleshooting and still the problem persist. anyway, the problem is my limewire just stopped working suddenly. i have deinstall it and tried reinstalling it, it and same thing happen. the whole installation process is always successful but limewire fail to lunch when click on the desktop icon or any limewire icons. it just loads the prefix and then nothing happens. i remove old java runtime environment and install newest one, nothing. my firewalls are all fine and is set to allow limewire connection. i upgraded the adobe flash to 9.0. i have no clue what to do, b/c i tried everything in the forums and nothing could help me. Any thoughts on this...anyone? i have windows xp and tried downloading the lastest limewire 4.12...and no luck. and yes, i have tried LOTR steps.

Please don't double post

Not only is it annoying to the members here, but also you will probably just get the exact same advice in different order.

hey guys!!!!

so i figured out why it didn't work! i have mcafee anitivirus security center install (not b/c i want to b/c it came with the computer), it has virus scan and firewall etc. well, i just removed the whole program and reinstall it. now, limewire works again! so if it ever suddenly just stop working, maybe you can reintall your anti-virus software and it will cure the problem!!!! thanks for your help and knowledge sleepless!
