Double click icon and nothing happens

aaron_03 · #11 (**permalink**) November 29th, 2007

I am not running any of those anti-spyware programs. I don't have anything running at startup that would cause that to happen. THe exe's are still there, just won't load.

Still looking for more suggestions!!

I think you should start all over again...

Uninstall Limewire using the uninstaller which is found in start > all programs > limewire...

Use your computer's search to look for all files & folders with limewire in the name. If you can't delete them, reboot into safe mode & then try. If they still won't delete, try one of the tools here...
Incomplete Download File won't delete at all.

Then re-install it using the offline installer...To find the offline installer, use the link below > cancel the installer window when it pop's up and then select the offline installer link...
Lime Wire » Download LimeWire

I am running the following on my system.

Windows XP Pro 64 bit
Windows firewall
4GB ram
several hundred GB of disk space
cable connection
LW version 4.14.10

LW was working before and have not made any modifications to the network aspect of my setup.

Please let me know if more info is needed.

Just in case either of you have Alcohol software installed...check the thread below.
LW starts then close, log: resolve_virtual_call

Depending what OS you have, right click on the LW icon on your desktop > properties > compatibility > run in compatibility mode for Win 2000 or NT if you're using XP or if you're using Vista, run in compatibility mode for XP.
