Older Version of Limewire Running?
 

I've tried installing Limewire on a new computer but everytime I press the install button on the installer an error message pops up and tells me that an older version of Limewire is running. I'm suppose to exit that version and try again. This is a brand new computer, I definately do not have an older version of Limewire on here so what's the problem and how do I fix it?

Check options here Fixes for Limewire (click on blue link) including deleting your LW prefs folder. :)

i have tried all that and it still says there is an older version running

is there anything else i can do to fix it???

1. Go to Start menu > Programs > LimeWire > Uninstall.

2. Run this utility: Crap Cleaner (which will clean the registry)

3. Install using the OFFLINE version of LW: http://www9.limewire.com/download/LimeWireWin-full.exe

* BTW if you are using VISTA, then you will need to set the installer to Administrator. ;)

thanks i shall try that
how do i set it to offline??
yes i'm using vista

That installer is the offline installer. The installer contains all the files you need to install. An online installer downloads most of the data from the internet whilst it is installing. Online installers are much less reliable & often have problems.

Check the VISTA section Stickies at top of that section in regards to setting up LW & installing. :)

ok seem to have got it working now thanks

just one question the design of my desktop and stuff does seems different like it has changed is it supposed to do that??
