Limewire won't start

[cgslim]

Hi, I've got a startup issue. Whenever I try to start Limewire, it pops up for a split second, then minimizes to the tray, then after about 5 seconds there, whenever you try to reopen, the program was terminated. I've already uninstalled and reinstalled Java, and that did help, as before that I didnt see any progress on the startup screen, it was just static. Can anyone help me out?

What version of java are you using? Some versions don't work well for some people. Try the version in this thread(point 1): Fixes for Limewire when LW isn't operating as it should!

I just tried it, Im now using 5.0 update 12 java. It's still doing the same thing. It pops up for a split second then terminates, it doesnt minimize like I thought. What could be causing this?

Awesome, I discovered a double install of Java, and it turned out to be my problem. Thanks for all of your help 6-pac and WonderingWhy :-)
