I did dowload LW when I first got my computer but when I tried todownload a song it said that "there was not enough source", I really didn't know what that meant so I didn't know what to do. I think that I thought that I just couldn't get it. I did delete the icon from the Add/Remove program but after reading "Wondering Why" thread I guess I should not have done that. I tried to download LW after I deleted the icon but it still says that I appear to have a older version running.

Open Task Manager (ctrl/alt/del). Click on the Processes tab & see if there's a LW process running. If there is, end the process.

Now use your computer's search to look for all files & folders with limewire in the name. Delete what you find.

Now try to reinstall LW. Download the LW offline installer. When you click to download & a dialog box pops up, cancel it. Now use the option to download the offline installer

Default Limewire Pro not running

I just purchased Pro 4.14.12. Initially, the software loads after installation. But after I shut down limewire and re-open it. I get the regular version back(4.14.10). The only way I get pro is to keep re-installing it. Why is this??

See the red Stickies at the top of the Vista section of the forums. General Vista Support - Gnutella Forums Also look near the beginning of the Vista section.

I did a search & found this: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/genera...tml#post289927

Default HELP, please!!!!!

Ok heres the thing. yesterday i downloaded the new version of limewire and it worked fine. today the icon disappeared from down by my time and battery info bit. So i clicked on the start up icon and nothing happened. so i uninstalled limewire then tried it again installed fine but no startup. i looked in my lime wire file and there was this error message "
# An unexpected error has been detected by HotSpot Virtual Machine:
#
# EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xc0000005" so i figured maybe java was the problem. have uninstalled/reinstalled java and limewire all day. the java.com site verefied that i had correctly installed java, so i don't know what to do nex. I even tried downloading the 5.0 version of java incase the newerones were not compatible.

i anm not that good on computers and have exhausted my limited knowledge, can anyone help me?

Win 2000 or win NT, one or the other often fixes the issue.

Default Hi Everyone

Hello Everyone, I have just joined the Limewire Forums. I would like to say Thank You to the Limewire creators because your product is a wonderful file-sharing program which I have enjoyed for a many years.

I have a little problem though, I keep getting the corrupt installation message and i dont know how to fix it. I have unistalled Limewire many times and tried to reinstall it but I keep getting the same corrupt message. Does anyone else have the same problem? I tried the link above also that too failed. Thanks in advance for any help anyone can provide!
Regards
Danielle

Are you using the online installer? The online installation can sometimes have corruption problems Try it this way:

First of all, install Java. Download the JRE offline installer & remove any other Java versions installed (via Add/Remove Programs) before you install the latest Java.
Java SE Downloads

After Java's installed, install LW. When you click to download the LW installer, cancel the dialog box which pops up...now use the option to download the offline installer.
Lime Wire » Download LimeWire

If you still can't install, use the 'other' installer.
Installing using the 'other' installer


Sorry...I'm not sure which link you've tried already, there are so many in this thread!
