Ok so like many other people i am having trouble starting my limewire. I will turn on my computer and then double click on the shortcut. After a few seconds the sartup will appear and then shutoff quickly. I go to task manager start LW and watch it start then disappear completely. I am running on XP with all the updates. I dont have any Alcohol files. I am running LW 4.14.10
I have replaced Java numerous times different editions and offline. The edition i have now is J2SE 5 update 11. I have installed different editions of LW. i have tried to run as, change the compatability. I deleted LW files changed file names and everthing else. I have also tried saving different name and many different types of "fixes" but nothing works. I have had this problem for a couple months now and it really startin to make me mad. So if anybody can give me suggestions or tell me how to fix this it would be greatly appreciated.

My info is:
Windows XP
Webroot Spy sweeper, Windows Firewalls
768 MB
30.04 MB
Broadband
Motorola Sb4200 Surfboard
House
4.14.10
AOL

NO
This is a new problem
I can't even get LW to start

Sounds like either a java problem or a security device preventing it opening. Is LW on the safe list of your anti spy & ad programs? There's generally options where you can add particular programs to a safe/clearance list. And is LW on your XP firewall clearance/firewall rule.

Does your computer have a 2nd account. It might be worth a try setting one up, running LW from there. Simply make a shortcut from the program to that account desktop folder or start > programs menu.

If running an earlier version of Java, make sure all other versions of java have been uninstalled.

It may or not make any difference, but try running this version Download ‘Other’ version & simply unzip & use!.

I re installed all java and limewire, this error message comes up:
