I suggest you completely delete your copy of LW, better save your "Incomplete" and "Complete" folders onto a CD before you start deleting. Also, delete your Java applet.
Then download the LW installer file, from Limewire.com, into a newly created folder along with a new download of Java. I personally prefer Java 1.5.11 (my O/S is XP) but you may want to use Java 1.6.x (latest version) Get yourself a registry cleaning utility, like Reg Clean, and sort out your registry, also run your AV and Anti-Spyware app to clean up your HD. Now do the following off-line, i.e. Internet connection closed. Defrag your HD. Run and install Java, reboot then run and install LW. Check that you can now open your "Options" box. If all is well, repopulate your new "Incomplete" and "Complete" folders with the data on your CD. Good Luck. UK Bob |

Managed to sort this one hope this helps someone else
I have had this problem it is caused by what i think is the remains of a worm run msconfig and look in start up programs if you find windows\fonts\svchost. that is the cause you need to get rid of it . it keeps starting its self up. I had to start ivn safe mode and use system mechnic to remove it from start up. deleting it in msconfig when in safe mod did not seem to work. but once you get rid of it lime wire ask for a new download folder set one up. then go into libary in lime wire and delete the directory that is gose to font. hope this helps . PS get rid of the virus first and make sure your firewall is blocking the windows\fonts\svchost asap The Mekon |
