Limewire Open and Shuts Again!
 

I found Limewire would open then close after updating to the latest version of Java ( 6.1 at the time of posting ). When I removed this latest update and loaded an older version ( 5.5 ) Limewire continued to work properly. Has anyone else observed this?

OPEN and Shuts
 

YEP, I had the same problem. I still haven't found a solution! I killed the firewall, reinstalled, etc.. and nothing seems to work.

When I first started using it, it worked fine for a DAY then, it just started shutting down for no apparent reason. It only stays up long enough to give me the 'upgrade' box and then shuts.

What Java version are you using...
Try uninstalling your Java from the add/remove programs and then re-install the JRE offline version....(5th one down)

Thank you.. I hope that works!

umm. nope.. still does the same thing. is there a link to an older version perhaps?

Unfortunatley I don't have a link to an older version...
Try doing these two fixes...
Uninstall Limewire using the uninstaller which is found in start > all programs > limewire...then re-install it using the offline installer...

If that does not help with your problem try deleting your preference folder...

If that doesn't work try downloading the Beta Version of Limewire using the offline installer...;)
