I have tried everything in order to get lw to open and run and nothing has happened. I have uninstalled and reinstalled lw several times along with java. I have also tried the back-up installer with no luck. When i click on the lw icon the start-up screen pops up and stays in the middle of the screen and the only way to get it off is to restart. I get the firewall screen asking me to allow access and as soon as i do nothing. I've read everything on this forum followed all directions and still nothing. I've had lw for about 1 year with no problems, bought the new version of pro and thats when it all started. If anyone has an idea please let me know.

Thanks Dasha! I wasn't sure what you meant about the link that LM Cnutella posted, but the link "zap" posted finally worked after another try. I haven't really tried to find a song or download anything, but I was just glad when I finished downloading and finally opened! Also, sorry about the $50!

Join the LW ripped off club I went thru all the same' but when I had Paid and finished and tried to Open LW Nothing! I could not get help anywhere someone from the real LW emailed me and gave me the OTHER complaint Email address! There I downloaded my debit bill and found I had been charged $80.00+instead of $34.00?? I was charged for extras as well as Pro but I had recieved Nothing no file Nought! I sent this other Mob 3 Emails and no reply! I rang a Phone Num in Nth America" on hold for 30 min and when I told her what happened she asked me my Email Address and then said I "cannot understand you" then hung up? I rang the number again and recieved a recorded message "Ring before you Dig" I came here to the forum and thanks to all of you guy's I found an Address to download LW and it works great but I am still out of pocket! hope this helps and I hope everybody else is VERY careful that you click onto LW and not the Bogus site like I did. Dasha

Bogus site?
That's the first time I heard that.
You have a link to the real site?
Also, I called my bank and told them that I'm disputing the $14.50 charge ( just on principle) and they are going to reverse the charge.

: Just go through these Forums this is where I found the Link and downloaded LW It 's best if you find it yourself, I would hate to give you wrong Link

I recently downloaded Limewire and paid approx.£58 for the privelige. My Hard developed a fault and I have installed a new one, now I do not seem to be able to download the software as I cannot remember my login or password

Many Thanks in advance

Search thru this forum and you will find a Link and then you can try and contact them like I did (Read my Thread)

No I Did Not Get My money back and spent $15.00 AU Waiting in a "Que" on their so called a"1800 International Help number" before she answerwed and then hung up on me then left the phone of the Hook or switched me to a recording that said "Dial Before you Dig??"

Grandpa They advertised LWat $29.00 I think it was? this turned out to be US $'s thats fine however" I Never Asked for Pro or the other 2 services I was billed for???? which all came to $84?? AU??? I managed to Download and install LW for Zip from this forum where sombody had placed a link to help mugs like me so I recieved $34.00 worth of LW for a Cost Of $95.00 as well as 5 hours of wasting my time and haqving to cancel our Visa card Etc!!! so it has nothing to do with simple things and thinking whilst gazing at ones Navel Grandpa the fact is that the LW site was a DUD and I was duped along with many other people I have been reading about. Dasha

Hi Dasha,
You've been royally scammed by someone, but it wasn't LimeWire.
www.limewire.com is the only official site to download either version of LW. If you go to the site & click the 'get it now' button, you'll be sent to this page
http://www.limewire.com/english/content/download.shtml & as you can see, LW basic's free. You pay nothing.

The only version of LW that costs anything is Pro. That's $18.88 USD($23.37 AUD). There are no extra services to pay for. If you did choose to buy Pro, you'd be billed for that amount only...because there's nothing else to pay for

LimeWire doesn't have a 1800 number to call. There's no phone support at all. Pro users are entitled to 6 months of email support. Basic users can come here for support.

There are that many scam sites around, heaps of people get ripped off. But they're being ripped off by the scammers, not by Limewire LLC.
