I have absoloutly nothing on my computer, i try and open limewire, it comes up and then just vanishes, i tried taking it off of my computer, then reinstalling it, but the same thing seems to happen..im not sure whats going on it just all of sudded happened..it worked one night and the next it just started acting up.. please help?

1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98) windows xp
2. What firewalls you have? norton

Try uninstalling java from the add/remove programs, then d/load and install Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6u1(using the offline installer): Java SE Downloads

Delete LW's preferences folder. Instructions in this thread(point 3): Fixes for LimeWire

Now reinstall LW using the offline installer. Installing it will remove your current version.
LimeWire: The Official Site for the Fastest File Sharing Program on the Planet

If all that fails, uninstall java again and use this version. Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 5.0 Update 11(using the offline installer): Java SE Downloads - Previous Release - JDK 5

Let us know how you get on.
