Try these steps:

1. Make sure you're set up properly & configured before installing. Check your firewall & modem/router to make sure UPnP is enabled; see Connection problems? Check here first! (click on link)

2. Install Java 1.5 (take the JRE) using the "Offline" installer. Don't install online!

3. Downld the "Offline" LW installer from here http://www.limewire.com/english/content/download.shtml
Then install. LW will usually uninstall any previous version/copy at the beginning of installation.

Well if you can't finish installation properly, then go to Start menu > Programs > LimeWire > Uninstall (if it exists)

Then go back to LW & downld another version. It's refered to as "Other". It's the last one on the list & has a ? next to it & called: ? Other (OS/2, Solaris, Linux) After downlding it, just unzip it & & open limewirestub & use.
