Limewire won't boot up!
 
Can someone please help me. For some reason Limewire was working and now when I click on it it won't even open at all. I've uninstalled it and then reinstalled it as well but still the same problem. I was even thinking of going to Limewire Pro but if I can't get basic to work then what is the use right.
It worked last week and I didn't make any changes to my computer or anything and just stopped working. Do I need to download from somewhere else ? Please help. I have my girlfriends MP3 player here and am suppose to be downloading music for her! She is expecting it tomorrow and I hate to let her down.
Thanks,
Kimmie

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
