I just got SBC yahoo dsl today and im having tons of problems with limewire! well when i connect to the internet and open limewire..it loads up and then dissapears..i have tried the connection problems thing they had before i went to the forums but it didn't help


PLS help..


if there's nothing i can do...can some one please tell me another good ones other than limewire

hey thanx ill be sure to do that soon....

but if it doesn't work can some one tell me of some other file sharing program i could use thats good??

tried doing what that thread told me and no luck

Check your parental control features provided by your ISP they interefere with LW

This link might help. http://help.sbcglobal.net/

KathW already gave you a clue but have a look at this: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=36228 which may/not fix it but worth taking precautions.

well ok limewire wont even run..ill click on it and the load window shows up and then dissapears and limewire doesn't even pop up...i tried deleting the preferences folder and doing what some of the other help topics told me 2 do but still no luck..ive also tried shareaza and morpheus...shareaza was the only one that worked but i had connection problems with it and with morpheus id click on something to download and an error messege would pop up saying that it had problems and needs to close...ive also tried to install ares but the same thing happened as with limewire..the install window would pop up and dissapear. i called sbc and they said that its not an sbc problem and its my computer which i find odd because back on mid march i had a problem and the people there rebooted the computer to the point where my personalized files were deleted and i got it back it was the same as it was when i took it out of the box and plugged it in.

this is really frustrating me

Well ... I could suggest a couple of things.

If you have a Registry Cleaner it would be well worth cleaning the muck out. http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...232#post121232
Also do a system maintenance & check it with your utilities & defragment your HDD.

Then I'd reinstall both LW & Java starting with Java. But install both from the computer. Don't install over the net; downld the installers to your computer & then install. Reboot after installing LW.

Choices for Java: http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp
