cosmosis66 Hi

Follow these instructions exactly.
So, you need to Go, Start/All Programs/LimeWire n Uninstall all L/W versions.
Do Not Uninstall From Change or Remove Programs.
Re BOOT Your computer NOW
Now Go to, Start/Search/click on all files n folders/more advanced options/
& make sure, case sensitive, is not ticked. (all other boxes should be ticked)

Now!!, Put limewire in box, (all or part of file name) & click search.
Delete everything found, including Prefetch folder, (I mean everything)
Re BOOT Your computer NOW.
Now! Go to,
START/Set Program Access/Change or Remove Programs,
now completely remove all versions of java.
Re BOOT Your computer NOW.

Now! Use this Blue Link to get "Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 5.0 Update 12" Use the off line installer, NOT the (recommended) one, 4th one down.
Java SE Downloads - Previous Release - JDK 5
When Download is completed.
Disconnect from internet, close ALL apps n reinstall java.

Now!! Use this link to download latest L/W version using the off line installer
LimeWire

Hi,

I updated my limewire last week to 4.14.10, and now at the end of the startup screen, it just dissapears. I have read all the posts i can find relating to this or similar, and have followed their instructions, ie. uninstalling limewire, including explorer search and deleting all related preferences folders etc. I have also then reversed my java install to 5 update 11, deleting all other versions first (including latest v6). Then reinstalling limewire (all using offline installers) but the problem does not go away.
I noticed in mickjapa108 post that java 5 update 12 is recommended, although the link goes to update 13, and I cant find update 12. Do you think this is relevant or should my system work anyway with the update 5 as recommended in lots of other posts ?
any suggestions ?
eg.like limewire, does java need any further deleting of remaining hidden/system files/folders when removing previous versions after using 'add/remove programs' to do the standard removal ?

on first startup of limewire after removing the preferences folder, the wizard runs as it should asking me to select my preferences such as connection type etc, but on completion, the remaining startup window just completes ie. 'loading user interface, loading core components .....etc etc' to 100% and then disappears. after the first, then subsequent starts bring up the loading screen again, which dissapears at the end, with nothing running, nothing in sys tray, nothing in 'processes' in task manager.

any help would be greatly appreciated,
many thanks.

Right click on the LW icon on your desktop > properties > compatibility. If you're using XP, try running in compatibility mode for Windows 2000 or NT.
If you're using Vista, try compatibility mode for XP.

Do you have Alcohol software installed? If so, check out the thread below & see if that helps.
