Try steps 2, 3 & 5 here: Fixes for Limewire

ok so i've had limewire for a while... and every once in a while, i try to open limewire to do some downloading and a message comes up saying "limewire was unable to load, please download and install again." and so i downloaded it again and usually it works... but this time it's not working at all... i tried using the backup downloading program too... but it still didn't work... and so i tried completely uninstalling the program and starting over from scratch but it STILL isn't working... can any one help me? i don't wanna have to pay for this thing to get it to work...

I don't know if I'm in the right place but can anyone help I downloaded Limwire with no problems and enjoyed using it (for the two days I got to use it) I was very proud that I downloaded it myself being a computer idiot! anyway my husband deleted the desktop icons and I don't know what else. I did a search for limewire and found the rest of the files and tried to open it from there, no luck. Went to add/remove programs - nothing their either and nothing under "programs" either. I deleted what i could and tried to start again and it keeps saying i'm running it in my systems tray (where is that?) it proceeds to tell me to right click on the icon and click "exit" *sigh* I don't get the option to exit! So now I can't run limewire and can't un-install it and can't download! Any ideas?? Remember i'm not computer literate. It took me 20 mins just to figure out how to work this thread thing!

Thanks Birdy I will give it a try.
The corrupt message came up as I went to use the previous version that I had been using for some time. Additionally the message directed me to reinstall Limewire.
After I installed the newer version I received the "save folder is not valid or may have been deleted..." as well as a "fatal error/corrupt installation" message.

If you were using quite an old version before, just check the location of your preferences folder...you could have an older .limewire folder or the newer one within Application Data, check for both.

Help help help, ever since I stated using microsoft live one care and deleted the other antivirus pgms, it won't install i keep trying and tryin..boo hoo hooo

I am trying to install and getting running Limewire...all is going well, except, after I choose my Internet connection, it goes to a Firewall Window, but I have allowed full internet access...but there is no button to allow me to go to the next screen to proceed with the install??? any ideas

I installed PRO on my wife's computer but when i get to the download page, it sends me to a search engine web site. How do I fix this?

why is none of the instalers working

Did you try to install using the offline installer?? Also, what about your Java installation? Did you update it prior to the LW installation??

Uninstall all Java versions on your system. Reboot and then download the JRE offline installer of the newest Java version from here:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp
Install it and reboot again, then try to install LW.
