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

[dpb1992]

I know that there have been a lot of these already but i still never got a solution to the problem. Limewire looks like its gonna start normally, it loads fine, and then the limewire screen opens up. Then its gone, for no reason. I go to the taskbar and its gone. I've re installed Limewire and a lot of Java stuff over and over. I searched the forum for two days, I googled it many times, but still nothing. By the way im using Windows XP, and Limewire worked fine last week. Please help.

Thanks for the help guys, I really appreciate it.

[wondering why]

Just make sure Limewire isn't still running in your Task Manager (Ctrl-Alt-Delete)...If it is in your Processes select the end now option...

If that isn't the problem try these fixes...
Try uninstalling all versions of Java from the add/remove programs and then re-install the JRE 5.11 offline version....

Also try deleting your preference folder/s...

I already did all these before, but just to be safe i did it again with still no luck. I also tried Frostwire and that doesn't work either. So i still need help.

I found out that if you use a different account that it works, but I would still appreciate it if someone told me how to fix limewire on my account, because it gets kinda annoying switching users just to use limewire.

Just check and see if you are an Administrator on your account...

I'm having the same problem and I have tried everything.

Deleted both limewire preferences files
Updated Java
I am the administrator
it's not still running in the taskbar
I was able to run it about 3 versions of limewire earlier
I've tried all the other fixes

I am running windows xp on about a T1, I have service pack 2

please fix it! I spent hours trying to get it to work!

Yea im an administrator, actually im everything that reddiestorm is (Xp, T1, etc). I tried updating Java, I tried many versions of Java/Limewire, and i figured out that im the only person on my computer that it doesn't work on (It works on 3 others) and me and my dad are both administrators and it works on his but not mine, and I can still get my songs but i made a new account just for Limewire because all other account are password protected. So i need a solution because it's annoying switching back and forth just for limewire (very slow computer) so if anyone can help, please do.

[wondering why]

Hmmm....This one has me stumped....
Try this...
Right-click the Limewire icon and go to properties and change compatability setting to Windows 2000. (but only if you're using Windows 2000 or later.) Somebody reported changing to Windows NT compatibility fixed their problem despite not using that operating system version.

Right-click on the Limewire icon on the desktop and click on Run as. Then it should come up showing the current user and then switch it over to Administrator. (but 'only' if you're the admin of your comp.!)

[reddiestorm]

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.
