help! LW keeps shutting down! we have been using our basic version of limewire with no problems and today when we try to open it LW will open and load get to the point where the page is up and the tips are up and then it will just shut itself down and disappear... there will be a LW emblem in the right corner (with the volume etc) but when the mouse gets close it disappears too! we have deleted and reinstalled twice and the problem persists... i checked the firewall per the instruction on the support page but it seems all good..?!.. i am NOT computer savvy and any help would be SO appreciated... THANK YOU |
Try deleting LW's preference folder with LW completely shut down. Instructions in this thread points 2 & 3(check both locations): Fixes for Limewire. This will reset all your option settings, so make a note of them first(if you can). If that fails try uninstalling your current version of java while LW is completely shut down. Go to the add/remove programs control panel and uninstall all versions of java listed. Now download and install J2SE Runtime Environment (JRE) 5.0 Update 11(use the offline installer): Archive: Download Java 2 Platform Standard Edition (J2SE) 5.0 Update 11 |
Limewire kept shutting down on me too I had just reformatted my machine and installed all my programs back, after installing Alcohol 120% version 1.9.5 LW just wouldn't load. It would try but shut right down. I uninstalled it, scanned my machine, uninstalled the LW folder in the application data folder, reinstalled LW and still she wouldn't run. I started to panic and notice, "Which one of my installed programs were not installed prior to reformatting?" The answer? Alcohol 120% I uninstalled it and tried to load LW again, and without a problem she opened correctly without any problems. The culprit was alcohol. I hope this helps others to consider other programs or drivers can sometimes conflict. (corrupted or infected programs may also be culprits) Thanks :xeri_ok1ani: Hittz |
