start up freezes: "loading html engine" it stays on 12%
 

Hi i am hoping someone can help me please. I had originally downloaded LW and everything ran smoothly until i had problems that it started not working properly so i uninstalled to so i could install it again.

i go thorugh the whole process of installing it and when i start it up it freezes and says "loading html engine" it stays on 12% and never moves from there! Please help me. I've tried uninstalling it and installing it several times.

Remove all your java versions then see http://www.gnutellaforums.com/292268-post2.html

If still problems, then see steps 3, 5 & 6 here Fixes for Limewire (click on blue link)

i have the same problem
 

i have the same problem it stops at 12% too!...how do i do that java thing u said... i have tried to install and had to uninstall limewire about 8 times. can you tell me how to do it please!!!

Go to control panels, open Add/Remove control panel & remove all Java versions listed. Then go to the Java link I gave (1.5_11 link) & choose the OFFLINE JRE version. JRE 5.11 offline version http://java.sun.com/products/archive/j2se/

If you reinstall LW, only use the OFFLINE download, not the recommended online installer. ;)
