Limewire does not Start
 

:bangh: tes i click the icon and the computer thinks or 1 second and nothing happens. this happened in my previuse computer and in my sisters and fathers computers aslo. i already tried downlading a new java. uninstalling it what should i do?:yikes:

Reinstall Java. Use the JRE offline installer here & remove your old version of Java before you install the new one.

Delete LW's preferences folder. See point 3 here (also point 2 if you've used much older versions of LW in the past).
Fixes for LimeWire

Now reinstall LW & make sure to use the offline installer (not the recommended one). No need to uninstall your original LW, it'll do that automatically when the new version's installed;)

If that doesn't help, try changing compatibility. That's point 5 in the fixes thread.

Also, make sure that LW's on the list of exceptions/allowed list of any antispyware programs, if you're using any.

it didnt work. i deleted all limewire files and unistalled limewire and then i installed offline version but it doesnt open op. when i was installing 5 error messages appeared

Same issue, tried what you said, including the Win 2000 compatability change and nothing, it worked last night and all i did differently was reinstall Battlefield 2142 and that not used to work but now it does and LW doesnt :\ odd

still wont work

I was having the same exact problem. I then tried Frostwire or whatever it's called and had the same problem. I had tried deleting the preferences folders, same problem. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Java, same problem. I finally uninstalled every version of Java as there were some old ones in the add/remove programs. I then deleted every Java folder in any Application Data folders and from Program Files.

Then, without installing the latest Java, I reinstalled only Limewire 4.12 pro, and let it install only the Jave that was bundled, 5.x I think. Then Limewire worked fine. So I then tried to upgrade to the latest Java from Java.com. Yep, you guessed it - Limewire wouldn't run anymore. So I uninstalled Java 6.whatever and Limewire works again.

See if that works for you, but LimeWire just does not work if the latest java is installed on my machine.
