LimeWire Uninstall Issue.. I try to uninstall LimeWire and get this message. I've tried to reinstall and then uninstall again, already. LimeWire version 4.18.8 Java version 1.5.0_02 from Sun Microsystems Inc. Windows XP v. 5.1 on x86 Free/total memory: 31209800/33357824 com.limegroup.gnutella.gui.GUILoader$StartupFailed Exception: .\lib\hashes (The system cannot find the file specified) at com.limegroup.gnutella.gui.GUILoader.sanityCheck(G UILoader.java:281) at com.limegroup.gnutella.gui.GUILoader.load(GUILoade r.java:58) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Nativ e Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(Unknow n Source) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(Un known Source) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Unknown Source) at com.limegroup.gnutella.gui.Main.main(Main.java:45) STARTUP ERROR! Thanks for any help. Jason |
How did you try to uninstall it? If you used the control panel -> install/uninstall programs that is the incorrect way. Normal way is Start menu -> All Programs -> LW -> Uninstall. The error message shows a startup error but you say you were trying to uninstall it? :confused: Try this: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/333278-post2.html Also, delete your previous LW preferences folder before you reinstall: Point #2 & 3 in Fixes for Limewire (sample image included at bottom of page.) or for vista see http://www.gnutellaforums.com/genera...der-vista.html |
Hi, sounds like what I have been getting. Only my problem is this: Limewire kept opening on it's own after I closed it. So I uninstalled, now it still keeps trying to open then I get this message, obviously because the program is no longer there. LimeWire version 4.18.8 Java version 1.6.0_05 from Sun Microsystems Inc. Windows XP v. 5.1 on x86 Free/total memory: 31356560/33357824 com.limegroup.gnutella.gui.GUILoader$StartupFailed Exception: .\lib\hashes (The system cannot find the file specified) at com.limegroup.gnutella.gui.GUILoader.sanityCheck(G UILoader.java:281) at com.limegroup.gnutella.gui.GUILoader.load(GUILoade r.java:58) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Nativ e Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(Unknow n Source) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(Un known Source) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Unknown Source) at com.limegroup.gnutella.gui.Main.main(Main.java:45) STARTUP ERROR!

Hi Weez and Welcome. :) If your LW's opening up all the time & won't stay closed, you're probably infected. Have a look at these threads: 2 probs (LW keeps restarting & can't access options) installation aborts * WARNING: Viruses on network you should be aware of ! * |
Thanks. That's what I was afraid of. Probably the same virus causing other issues on my computer. Thanks for your help. |
Just to let you know, I fixed the issue. I originally had McAfee installed but not had it updated so it wasn't doing any good anyway. I uninstalled it and downloaded AVG free as suggested in a previous thread regarding this issue. Updated it and scanned my computer....no more virus. Everything seems to be running great now and I learned my lesson. Thanks for everyone's help. Lisa |
:xirokrotima:Good Job Lisa, Glad we could Help. :D |
