I can't run the program... Hey I'm a newbie here, and have a problem with Limewire, downloaded and installed it, but I can't open it. When I click on Limewire icon, Limewire Logo appears but then logo disappear and nothing happens. Thx for help |

Try updating your Java: Java SE Downloads Download the JRE offline installer & remove any other Java versions before installing this one. Next, delete LW's preferences folder when LW's properly closed. See point 3 here & also point 2 if you've used older versions of LW in the past (there could be a folder in either location). Fixes for LimeWire This will change all of your settings within options, you'll have to go back through afterwards & reset things. If you're not sure of your settings, go through LW's tools > options & write them all down, so that you can reset things later. Vista users: LimeWire Pref Folder in Vista If that doesn't help, right click on the LW icon > properties > compatibility. Try running in compatibility mode for Win 2000 or NT. Vista users, try compatibility mode for XP. Do you have Alcohol software installed? If so, look here. LW starts then close, log: resolve_virtual_call |

Thx Birdy, "compatibility" solved problem, but I have another problem now. I managed to open Limewire yesterday and it worked very well. But today when I try to search something, it just show me nothing. It can't find anything. Even the files that I found yesterday. How can I solve this? |

Is your LW properly connected (all green/blue connection bars)?? If LW's connected, try the fixes below. 1. In LW go tools > options > searching > basic & check whether the 'show license warning' box is ticked. If it does, untick it > Apply > ok...see if that makes any difference. 2. Problems with the search 3. Delete LW's preferences folder when LW's properly closed. See point 3 here & also point 2 if you've used older versions of LW in the past (there could be a folder in either location). Fixes for LimeWire This will change all of your settings within LW's options, you'll have to go back through afterwards & reset things to the way you like them. Vista users: LimeWire Pref Folder in Vista If LW's not connected, try the fixes in the post below. If nothing there helps, post back with your system details If LW Will Not Connect |
