Limewire attempts to start but fails
 

Hello, I'm running Limewire 4.18.3 with XP. It's been working fine. Haven't used it for a week or so and now it doesn't start. The Limewire Logo appears for some seconds in the centre of the screen then disappears. No error messages or anything Is it possible that I've lost something that it needs. Only significant thing is a recent Java update but I'm not sure how relevant that is.
I've tried uninstalling limewire and reloading but no different. Don

Does sound like a Java Issue. Did you just update Java?? What version??

Thanks for the reply. I am about to un-install Java and re-install Limewire.

Try updating Java to 1.6.7. See Link

Remove All Java versions installed (via Add/Remove Programs) before you install the latest Version. (Download the JRE Offline Installer)
Java SE Downloads Fifth one down. ( 1.6.7 ).
Hope this Helps.

I have the same problem, and I have Java 1.6.0_07-b06. The loading screen appears, finishes loading, disappears, but that's it, nothing else happens. Any ideas. BTW, I have a Windows XP notebook with SP3, Cable Modem internet connection and my machine easily exceeds the system requirements.

I uninstalled Java and Limewire then reinstalled Limewire. Limewiree attempted to install Java but faild. When running limewire I was then pointed toward the Java download site. This worked and Limewire now works. Many thanks for the replies.

How do I uninstall Java. I have the JDK, but I cannot find the uninstall for the JRE.
