Recently installed the newest version of Limewire 4.12.

Download and installation worked perfectly fine, as did the earlier version of limewire I had before updating. However, once limewire is done installing itself, I double click the new Icon and the startup screen appears e.g "Loading Library window", etc. And then It doesnt open anything at all. I tried re-installing Java, uninstalling limewire, about 4 or 5 times, I've tried almost everything this forum says to do yet, I STILL CANT OPEN IT. Very frustrated. I also went about changing the compatability properties, restarting the computer, doing about everything I can think of, shutting down the firewall, deleting the versions of ".limewire" etc. This is extremely odd because less than a day or two ago I was using an earlier version completely fine.

help asap please!

thanks.

Try deleting your .limewire preference folder...
This thread will show you the steps to do this....

I already tried almost everything said in that thread. I already delted the ".limewire" preference folder and still nothing.

Have you tried using the offline installers for Java and Limewire...

Yes. I recently just did both with the offline installers and the screen disappears after everything is "loaded", and it opens nothing.

Doesn't sound to good does it...
When you changed the compatibility preference what did you change it to...

I started fresh (for about the third time) and everything seemed to go great the startup window with the Limewire logo popped up and apparently loaded everything and when it was done, it crashed again, and I used both offline installers.
