I downloaded LW successfully, but I cannot open LW. I have Windows XP and I added LW to my list of aproved sites. Please offer any suggestions?

Are you certain that you downloaded LimeWire from the correct site?
Also run a virus scanner over your complete computer and make sure to include your startup folder and everything associated with where you had LimeWire installed.

So I scanned and nothing came up. I also uninstalled and re installed about 5 times. I downloaded from limewire.com and also from a link on this forum. Any other Ideas?

i am having the same problem but i have had limewire for a long time and all of a sudden it will no longer open and i am going nuts! i have done virus scans and unistalled and reinstalled with no sucess if i figure it out i will let you know!

hi just wanted to let you know i figured it out! yay! it was a problem with a java update my comp automatically downloaded. unistall limewire and reinstall, uninstall all java related programs (through add remove icon in controll panel) restart computer, click on limewire and a box should apear saying it needs java 1.5 to run click the link, it will take you to the java website and dowload current java 1.5 program once finished click on limewire and it should boot up and take you through the set up prompts.
hope it works for you as well as it did for me! let me know
