Help, my LimeWire wont open!

[Tumultus]

Whenever I click on the LimeWire icon, the error sound comes up, but no message identifying an error appears, yet my LimeWire refuses to open up! This just started happening today and I've got no idea how to fix it, I tried to check if it was Firewalled but it wasn't.

How can I fix this?

Try deleting your LW Preferences folder; instructions here: Point #2 & 3 in Fixes for Limewire (sample image included.)

If still problems, uninstall your Java using your Add/Remove control panel & then reinstall using the "Offline" java installer from the link above in step 1.

I've tried EVERYTHING, but it still doesn't work! I saw someone mentioning loosening the security setings for Windows Pack 2 or something, how do you do that?

If you have XP then did you consider a system restore?

Were you refering to this patch which increases connections http://www.lvllord.de/?url=tools

Your problem sounds like a system issue. If you've deleted preferences, reinstalled Java & LW, then I'm not sure. How about a reformat.

You did configure your system didn't you for LW so it can connect through the firewalls re: XP firewall & UPnP settings for your modem/router? See Connection problems? Check here first! (click on link)

God man, this is so frustrating! It happened right after my dad got off the damn computer...

u_u Now what the hell am I gonna use?

Try everything again then; uninstall Java & reinstall using the "Offline" version. Delete the LW preferences. Reinstall LW using the "Offline" installer. There's a new LW 4.10.9 version out.

Before doing this however, try running this small utility Crap Cleaner

BTW you could always post at Norbies site in the general section & explain a program refuses to open.

BTW if you don't already have them, run these programs 1. ad-ware (FREE), & also 2. Spybot - Search & Destroy (FREE)

Thankgod someone has the same problem. I have followed all these steps and still nothing. Please help me!!

If you tried reinstalling Java with not effect, then uninstall & downgrade to Java 1.4.2 or if that's what you already have, upgrade to 1.5
Links to Java in the very 1st link I left about fixes for LW.
