Re: Limewire Pro not opening
 

I have the same problem, the installation goes ok, buy when I try to start the program, I just won't. I tried reinstalling it, but it didn't help.

I'm using windows xp sp2.

See Fixes for Limewire

If you need to re-install LW, then uninstall it 1st using uninstaller (Start menu>Programs>LW>Uninstaller) That's if it's LW version 4.4 or later. If it's an earlier version then use your Add/Remove Programs control panel to remove it.
Then download both Java & LW & save them to your computer. Don't install over the net. Then after installing LW, do a reboot.

I have basically the same problem. Since I upgraded Limewire to version 4.8.1 it refuses to start up. I get the "Please wait while Limewire initializes..."-window, but after that nothing happens. I've reinstalled it several times, also reinstalled Java, tried every trick mentioned in other threads...don't know what to do anymore. HELP!!

stomeboat remove Java 1.5 using Add/Remove Programs control panel. Then install this version of Java: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/download.html (Choose the JRE) For some reason one version of Java will run better on some people's systems than another.

I've installed java 1.4.2. Now it starts opening like it should, but after the screen saying that I should give Limewire permission to connect to the web, a Norton window automatically pops up, (asking me if that's what I want), I click on "yes" and everything freezes up again. I'm not sure if this is a Limewire-problem or a Norton-problem, but I've never had a problem before I upgraded...

I've heard of Norton IS issues before. I believe the solution was to uninstall Norton & re-install it (only the parts of it you want of course.) Then configure it for LW: Configuring Norton Internet Security
