Alright, I've been through all the threads I can find regarding LW not launching. I've tried uninstalling, reinstalling, using old/new versions, deleting limewire file in roaming folder, updating java, disabling firewall, etc. Problem is with my lap top with vista home premium 32 bit. 2 Desktops run LW no problem; laptop using wireless router, but don't think that has anything to do with problem because LW never even loads. Run as admin makes no difference.

What gives? Got a feeling that once it opens, I'll probably have probs connecting, but I'll be happy if I can just get the program to load for now!

Is this your first time using LW on the laptop?

Did you try installing LW to a folder other than the default (as shown in the link in post #2) & running in compatibility mode for XP?

And did you see the link about Alcohol software (if you have that installed)?

Do you only have one version of Java installed? Which version are you using ATM?

If you're still stuck, try the tips here - maybe running some cleaner apps & then a clean install might help? http://www.gnutellaforums.com/333278-post2.html
Don't worry about purging the downloads queue if you've never been able to use LW on the laptop & if LW won't even open

Yes. No previous versions have ever been installed.

Sort of. Tried "limewire2". Not sure how to go about running in xp compatibility mode. Tips?

I don't think I have that installed. Not familiar with it though. This laptop is pretty much fresh out of the box.

Installed JDK 6 with FX update, as suggested. Went to Java site, said I have latest version, etc.

Will do.

Thanks for reading.
