Cant Click on Limewire

Fatstogey · #1 (**permalink**) March 21st, 2008

I have been using limewire 4.16 pro. And it was working fine untill yestereday. When i opened it i couldnt click on anything. My mouse would highlight on the program but i couldnt click on anything. Nor could i close it. o and it was using 99% of my cpu. And i waited for several minutes and it didnt change.

However it still connected as i had a torrent that was still downloading. When i opened the torrent started downloading but i still couldnt click on anything. And someone was uploading from me as well.
I reinstalled limewire and now i cant even get past the setup screen cause i still cant click on anything.
I have right clicked the icon and done all that jazz. lol

No it isnt my firewall.
Yes i have the latest version of java.
I dont have .limewire in applications.
Windows xp

Ive done everything standard i can think of. The only thing i can do now is hope another p2p will work. But i have been using limewire for couple years now with no problem.

I just tryed frostwire and that didnt work either.

Nobody?
Well i still cant figure this out. I clcik on limewire to open it. The hour glass pops up for a second. Then nothing happens. I had the newest version of Java by i tryed older versions. Older versions of limewire. The newest version. Frostwire is the same as well. Ive been using Limewire for at least a year with no problems. Idk what is going on.

some People have been complaining about the new 4.16 taking up too much Cpu while it's runing here is what you do.Click on.This is in Lime Wire.
Tool's>Options>Advanced>Performance>And tick the Disable TLS Capabilities. This will help with the Cpu problem i clicked it off for mine and it only uses about 10% of my Cpu with is 5/10 Cpu.

I cant even get to options. I cant open limewire at all. I uninstalled it. Reinstalled it. Didnt help
Then i installed Frost wire and got the same result. Cant even open it.
The .limewire file doesnt exist on my computer. There isnt anythingn there.
I dont remember exaclty what version of Limewire i was usign. But my 1 year pro expired about 2 months ago. Then it kept running fine. Then just all of the sudde it stopped working.

I didnt update limewire, didnt update java, didnt install anything new. It just stopped working. I removed all limewire data from the computer. In the registry too. Then reinstalled it. Nothing happened. Still wont open.

Ive virus scaned my computer with Avast. Spyware bot. Reg Cleaner.

Im pissed about this. I have no reason why it has done this. I didnt do anything to my computer to cause this.

Ive also tried older versions of java. Nothing has helped.
Ive tryed changing the compatability thing as well.

UGH im so angry. YOu take limewire forgranted until it stops working ;(
