Black Screen When starting limewire??
 

This only just started recently, but every time i load up limewire, about a minute after its loaded everything freezes up and my screen goes black. I have to then manually shut down. This happens with no other programs.

Anyone encountered this before?

P.S. I have run anti-virus and anti-spyware several times with no luck.

It Might be a Java issue.

First of all, install Java. Download the JRE offline installer & Remove any other Java versions installed (via Add/Remove Programs) before you install the latest Java.
Java SE Downloads

seems to have worked for the moment. thanks a bunch, i would have never figured that out, i thought it was a possible corrupted file i couldn't get rid of.

Thank you!

Yes! I am having that same problem
 

I think it's a Vista/limewire issue. It only has to do with using limewire. I took it off and reinstalled it, also lost all my music too. Did clean up, virus removal the whole shabang. So now I will try the Jave thing that was mentioned. Please help, if you know how, anyone out there.

Which version of LW are you using?
Have you used other LW versions before without a problem?

Thank you, I'm using the latest LW, deleted all the others to reinstall the new one, thinking that would fix the problem. I will do the Jave thing now. I just removed all the old ones from my computer.

Thanks, again Deborah

What's a the JRE offline installer?

Help
 

:(Ok, I see it, however, there are many. Which one do I need?

First off, choose the Java SE Runtime Environment (JRE) JRE 6 update 14.

Ok, did all that. Still getting the black screen after a little while. Then it goes all black and goes to the blue screen and shuts down the computer. It only happens with limewire. Do you know if I can install an older version? :confused:
