That's what I have been saying Cobba! it was when I was going thru the Search results and clicked on the "Dud" Limewire from my search result? that I was sideblinded onto the rippoff site!
A lesson hard learned! However as I have been insisting all along it was only because of someone from LW who wrote and tried to help me that I managed to salvage something out of this and it was not "LIMEWIRE the original" who "Trimmed" me but some other sidewinder I used LW a year ago and had no trouble at all" and once I was on this time no problem! So Iam very gratfull to whoever it was at LW who advised me in the first instance that I had been Ripped off" and made several attemts to indirectly assist me to get my money back and finally showed me the correct link to "Download it free" so again I thank that lady from LW" and them for their help and to all that read this it was not there fault it was mainly my own carelessness that allowed the Dud to steal my money, anyway as I have said to all! Especially if you are like me" only a computer fan and still learning" be carefull of what you do as there are some miserable S Of B 's out there who at times make all our lives miserable thank's to all who wrote.

hi i'm new and i'm about to pull my hair out!Ive had limewire for awhile untill just recently when it wouldent open.I uninstalled and installed again and all it does is just sit in the middle of the screen and wont go away till i restart.How can i get limewire to work again?
Please help im going nuts with this...

Did you use the 'Offline' installer ? Not the one you install over the internet. Try the 13.1 MB Offine download (2nd on list) from here Download Java software from Sun Microsystems

sothis is probley a dumb question but can i download offline?Yes i used that 1 and it was downloading so slow

It's called Offline because you install offline, not over the internet. If the file is downloading very slowly, then imagine how slow it would be trying to instal it whilst it is downloading. Such slow speeds often result in faulty program installations which is why we recommend the "Offline" installer. With the offline installer you don't need to be connected to the internet at the time you actually install it. Only whilst you are downloading the installer.

Oh ok
now i uninstalled Java but When i do a search I still have a whole bunch Should i delete those?

Check your Add/Remove control panel & only uninstall thru that. You may see a listing like Java or j2se or jre. Don't manually delete program files as they may belong to another program. If you're unsure, get this utility Crap Cleaner as it will remove any files that belong to programs that are no longer needed such as previous versions no longer used.

kyblue & renee8you, Go Back and totally delete ALL of L/Wire from Add & Remove Programs as well as> Start > All programs> L/Wire Delete. as well as "Quicktime" then download L/Wire again from the link in this forum, I found that L/Wire will not "Load & Work" if the "Quicktime" Icon is not in the taskbar, or on the Desktop as a Shortcut, Etc or turned off!!!!! give it a try good luck Dasha

Have used Limewire for years w/ no problems. Before reinstalling XPpro the current version, 4.12, worked flawlessly. After rebuilding (changing nothing but adding a partition to HD), Limewire doesn't complete the install. I get a window that says I need to configure my Firewire (EZ Trust), but nothing to check or any boxes to continue. Beneath that window is a screen saying Limewire is trying to load the HTML engine, but there it hangs. I used the current installer program I had saved and then downloaded the alternate installer mention, but no luck. Any suggestions?
