There must be something equivalent to a delete option.

Attachment 6701

If all else fails delete the contents. But the folder itself might be corrupt, particularly if you are unable to delete the folder yourself.

Oops I did not see runt66's response until now. A potentially highly important question by runt66. :)

Robin Hood? He was a man, not to mention he stole from the rich and gave to the poor. I am neither. :(

Ok maid marion , any good news to report to your many admirers .

Like? And why do you keep calling me by these stupid nicknames?

robinepowell,

I think that runt66 was just adding a little humour - I'm sure no offense was intended, since they've been trying to help you in this thread :)

When you're trying to delete the LimeWire folder and no delete option shows, is the LimeWire program properly closed - so that no LimeWire process shows as running when you open Task Manager(Ctrl+Shift+Esc)?
If a LimeWire process shows as running, end the process & then try to delete the folder.

Have you tried to delete the folder using Ctrl+D?

Have you had this problem (no delete option showing) with any other files or folders?

Hi, I am totally at my wits end. I am using a hp notebook running windows 7-64 bit. I have been trying to download limewire pirate edition 5.6.2 but I continue to get an error message in which limewire does not finish downloading. I receive the following message. Can someone please help me?

Sorry I took a while to answer, for some strange reason I did not see your post until now.

I'm a little confused. You say you are running Windows 7 but the error report says Windows XP. I will presume you are running Windows 7 and come across the recent Java update issue. But then, the Java version reported in the error report says Java 6.

Your problem might be related to http://www.gnutellaforums.com/genera...ting-java.html
ie: re-install 32-bit Java but download the Off-line version and choose Run as Administrator to open the installer. Does not matter if you normally use 64-bit Java, seems the installing of the 32 bit version last fixes the update issues. But make sure they are set to Run as Administrator.

The Java site's 64-bit Java install auto-links to their Java 7 download page. So keep that in mind. If you installed this version then see the advice above.

* It's my guess there's a small chance you have 64-bit Java 7 installed, and 32-bit Java 6 installed. It's all 6's and 7's to me. You can check via your Java Control Panel. Click on the Java tab and View button. This will show the versions installed. If you have Java 7 installed then you have a choice of disabling it or seeing http://www.gnutellaforums.com/connec...tml#post368753

If you are actually using Windows XP, you will need to download the Java 6 offline installer: http://javadl.sun.com/webapps/downlo...BundleId=69512 and use your Control Panel's Add/Remove Programs CP to remove any Java 7 version. LW 5 versions will not run on Windows XP if any version of Java 7 is installed.

Edit: OK according to a previous post of yours, you are indeed using Windows 7. So it's my guess it's the Java update issue. And you may have two versions of Java installed, one for 32 bit and one for 64 bit Java.




This is a totally irrelevant & totally off-cuff comment, but I just have these thoughts that since Java's ownership changed hands, things have become problematic. I see something in the way the website now works that reflects an attitude of theirs. . But on the other hand, LW 5 and Java 7's main issue is the fault of the original LW 5 Windows version developers. This same issue is not showing up for either Linux or MacOSX LW 5 users of Java 7. The LW developer in control of the LW 5 Windows development ... I won't mention names. He disliked this forum unlike some other LW devs. But his competence is now a black mark on his A$$ and heck how an ugly dark tattoo is hard to get rid of. lol

The Ugly side of the latest Java Updates

Thanx Lord of the Rings, for your help. I was finally able to get limewire 5.6.2 to download by installing and uninstalling Java's, til I found the right one to work with it. Now if I could just get limewire to connect I'll be great. And again thank you for taking out time to give me a hand I really appreciate it!

:aweof:

Great to hear. :) Go through these suggestions http://www.gnutellaforums.com/connec...t-connect.html

I know for any of my LW 4 versions to connect on my computer, I usually had to disable TLS in the Advanced tab -> Performance. This may or may not help in your case for LPE.

There's an updated connection-fix installer as of about 12 hours ago. With this installer LW needs to be closed when you use it. Then open LW and let LW run for 25-35 minutes. If no connection, then close LW, wait a minute and open LW again and let it run for half an hour or longer. If still no connection then try the connection installer again. If still no good try the other options in the link I gave or post back to let us know how things went.

Thank you Lord of the Rings, you have been very helpful. :idea:
