Opening Limewire
 

All the sudden I can't open Limewire pro. I will double click the link and right click and "open", but LimeWire never opens. I tried Uninstalling and Re-installing but nothing happens. Nothing has changed, just one day it works, the next it doesn't. Any Ideas?

Try steps #1 & 2 here Fixes for Limewire which involves uninstalling your Java using the add/remove control panel. Then reinstalling using the "Offline" installer. If Java 1.5 doesn't do the trick, then try 1.4.2

Tried that, but nothing happened. It's the same thing. The hour glass comes up for about a tenth of a second then disappears.

You mean you deleted your prefs folder, tried both the offline installed versions of 1.5 & 1.4 2 & still nothing? Then I'm outta ideas. Try an earlier version perhaps.

I'm pretty sure that my Java is all screwed up. When I try to install a newer version of Java, my windows installer says "preparing to install" for about 20 minutes until I get some sort of error message. I'm going to have to reset my computer to the factory setting in order to get everything working again. You don't know a way I can save all my files do you, and have them reappear when I reinstall Limewire. Thanks for your help.

I'd recommend you backup your files onto an external disk or dvd or cd. Uninstall Java, & use the "Offline" install versions. It's made a difference to many people with similar problems. Installing Java online often means incomplete/corrupt installations. I've seen the Java error page & the online installation errors has been around as long as java's been around. It happens to everyone who uses Java not just p2p users. I also noticed the Java downlds was offline a day or 2 ago. Which means they were probably overloaded for downld requests. ie: Their server couldn't cope with the requests.
