Limewire closing.... still no solutions...

I tried that and it actually stayed open longer and then closed after about 10 to 15 seconds instead of 5.

If it's not java what about that tip of the day that always comes up? Seems like when mine worked I didn't have that coming up.

What version of LW are you both using at the moment ??

I'm using the newest one upgraded from the version before that which also did the same thing (same problem)

The last time that happened i just updated LW and it worked for awhile

When you deleted the preference folders, did you delete both the .limewire and the LimeWire folders ??
