Hi! I just d/l the new Limewire Beta 4.11.1 and installed it. Then I double-clicked the icon as usual to start it. Then nothing...... Usually, the Limewire window would be activated but not this time. My other Limewire Beta 4.11.0 works just fine. I have tried to uninstall and reinstall it but to no avail. Help!!

Thank you so much for your advice. I have read through the link that you gave. Actually, I have done all that. Now, I have reinstall the other Limewire Beta 4.11.0 and it works well. I don't know, maybe the new version 4.11.1 is not for Win XP?

It works for me on XP. Usually if LW won't open, it's a Java issue or a conflict with an antispyware program. You haven't installed or upgraded any antispy recently?? If so, make sure LW's on the list of exceptions/allowed apps.

I don't know how much you want to try the new LW beta. If you're keen you could try the Java 6 (JRE) beta with it (install Java first) & see if that makes a difference

Thank you again for your advice. I will try it later.

i have the same problem. i installed limewire 4.11.1 and it wouldnt open. so i uninstalled it. then it stops on one file when try to install it again. why did it do this?

garbagefan2,
Where exactly is the beta stopping during installation? If there's an error message or anything, maybe get a screenshot of it? Or note down exactly what it says & post it.

You can also report probs to

What Java version are you using?

My guess is it is stalling at installing Java. Garbagefan2 follow the thread below WW is having the same problem.

The file won't delete because LimeWire is running the background (waiting for the splash file to be read). You can kill LimeWire (however many instances of it may be running) from the task manager in order to delete the preferences directory.
