Alight, I've used limewire for a while now, but I was getting tired of this automatic connection when I disconnected. So I uninstalled the program, and it KEPT DOING IT ! But this time it came up with an error from java saying:


One or more necessary files appear to be invalid. This is generally caused by a corrupted installation. Please try downloading and installing LimeWire again. If the problem persistsm please visit Lime Wire » Official Website & Free Download, BitTorrent « and click the 'Support' link.



Then it listed this under it:

Please stop this from happening. I can't do anything for a minute without limewire trying to connnect. It's starting to tick me off.

if you ever find out why this is happening, please e-mail me, i'll send it to you in a pm. it's starting to scare me, i think it might give my computer a virus. i downloaded a program and tried to run it but it would'nt work. then i tried to delete the folder but it won't let me. it kept making limewire pop up so i unistalled it and now that message keeps poping up. please please please email me if you ever do find out.

*Jumps up and down* This is happening to me too! It keeps automatically connecting me, and when I uninstalled it, I got that same error message! Help!

i fixed it for my computer. =] listen, just search "limewire" on you're computer and delete it! it might say that you can't delete it. just go into safe mode or reboot a couple of times and it should delete. good luck!

how do you go into...safe mode on an XP? Where do you click?

I WIN!!! NO MORE POP UP LIMEWIRE!!! and to the authors of Limewire.....






**** YOU!!!!


AHAHAHAHAHHA!


No, seriously. Fix the damn program. When you do come back tell me and I'll buy it again.










Pssshhh buy it? HAHAH YEAH RIGHT

i don't know. i personally didn't use safe mode because i didn't know how to. i just booted a couple of times, lol. look at this thread:
