it still freazes nothin i try seems to work ?

have tryed a few more times to open it but it still freazes after it connects limwire folders gone did a new download of java and of limewire wish i never updated it any other ideas oz ?

You could try going to LW's tools > options > advanced > super really advanced > performance. Tick the boxes to disable ultrapeer capabilities, disable connecting to DHT & disable TLS. Click 'ok'.

If things are still stuffed, you can always go back to LW 4.18.8 There's a page to download old installers: Lime Wire » Download Out-Of-Date Installers

If you're using Pro, your personal download page has a link to 4.18.8 on the left hand side - 'Get LimeWire Classic'.

many thanks for your help and patience it still hasnt worked tryed last things u said ill try the new download of old version and let u no cheers

downloaded 418.8 can now downl;oad music yeah it wont play when i hit launch though >>> and when i look at library the rest of my songs r not there lol?? what have i done now

What happens when you disable LW's player (tools > options > player) & use a different player?
Also try playing songs from your saved folder, rather than through LW... go to LW's library, click on Saved Files, highlight a song & click Explore. Your saved folder will open - in that saved folder, right click on a song > open with > choose whatever player.

If songs won't even play that way then maybe they're bad files. Check out these links for more info.

And this one might help with your music not showing up: If you've updated LW and can't find your downloads!
Check in the different saving locations & see if your files are there;)
