A no. of things. 1. Update your Java (LW only installs Java 1.3 but needs a later version): http://www.limewire.com/english/cont...radejava.shtml
2. Repair LimeWire using the Add/Remove Programs utility. Go to Control Panel then Add/Remove Programs & click on Limewire on the Change/Remove button & it comes up with options and one of them is Repair. Try this.
3. Right-clicking the Limewire icon and going to properties and changed compatability setting to Windows 2000.
4. Delete your LW preferences folder (this means you'll need to reset your LW options later). It is called .limewire & found here: C:/Documents And Settings/your_username/.limewire
5. Configure your XP firewall & any others you have: http://www.limewire.com/english/content/firewalls.shtml


Hope it's not as hot up there as it is here!
