Downloaded new version of JRE, then installation of LW appeared successful. Haven't tried it yet, but thanks much for the help!

Hi
Long time user of Limewire and big fan
When the new update came it went fine for us
Yesterday when my dad was using limewire he was having problems with it. So he decided to remove it and try to reinstall limewire again. I've tried the same thing.
Our problem is that the installer claims that limewire is still running on our computer and that we need to close it. But of course it is not running. Well after doing a search through the computer i still found the limewire folder, even though it was deleted from add/remove programs. Well i tried manually deleting all the programs, but it will not allow me because it says they are being used (mainly this aopalliance jar file and other jar files, and the limewire file itself).
I have tried the backup downloader and such.
help?

It's always best to uninstall limewire via Start > All programs > Limewire/Uninstaller.....Uninstalling via the Add/Remove will cause problems.

It sounds like limewire could still be running, hence you not being able to delete the left over files manually. Try checking within your task manager (Ctrl-Alt-Del), if it is still running select the End Process option.

If Limewire was popping up all the time (the problem your Dad was having) try this fix....

"This installation is corrupted. Please download and and install limewire again." (yes it has two and's)

-I had other problems with my limewire as it wouldnt let me on it. So i deleted it and java and am trying to re-download it..can anyone help me!!!???

have had limewire for a couple of years.... thought I'd download a video last nite cause I'd never done that before... BAD MOVE! The file was infected with some type of trojun. Got rid of the virus but have no idea what all it did to my computer the short time it was there..... Ended up uninstalling limewire cause the trojun had downloaded like 15,000 files and counting and I could'nt stop it. Thought I'd re-install limewire today but the online downloader just gets stuck on the page where it asks me if I want to "Enable content filtering" .... it won't take me to the next page to finalize. .... just stays on that page... What to do... Please help!!!!!

Delete your LW prefs folder as described.

Reinstall LW using the OFFLINE LW installer: http://www9.limewire.com/download/LimeWireWin-full.exe

WARNING: Viruses on network you should be aware of! (click on blue link) Make sure you are rid of the virus. Some anti-virus programs don't detect or remove them properly.

Check above advice. Also under Fixes for LW options .. try changing compatibility mode, deleting prefs folder, & replacing the Java.

OK get this... I finally re-installed limewire( read elswhere on this forum that I needed to change my font size to normal- for some reason it worked) After the install, checked it and it had all my songs from the limewire that I had deleted.. in the new limewire library?????? How did that happen....??????

ok so i got home. turned on the computer, when it loaded it said "one or more files appear to be invalid" install again etc and with this message: LimeWire version 4.17.6

STARTUP ERROR!

. (i dont know what it means) ok so i try to uninstall it, it wont uninstall limewire i think because of some file called aopalliance, ive deleted as many files of it as possible. the icon is not near the time, yet when i try to reinstall limewire it keeps telling me limewire is running. so i eventually press ignore, it continues to download them comes up with the message that it is corrupted.


HELP! PLEASE"

alright, here is my problem/story:
i had like limewire 4.8 or something up for like 6+ months maybe, up until like an hour or two ago. i was downloading a movie clip, and it put it in a folder called"LimeWire" in Program files. previously it had been sending all of downloads into a folder called "Shared" and i had liked that. then i got kind of angry when it wouldnt let me put new downloads into the original folder. so i went and un-installed(in my frustration) my LimeWire. then i went to the lime wire site and downloaded the zip for the latest limewire. when i went to install it, it gave me a message saying that i had an older version of limewire running, and to close those. but i had uninstalled it? it said it might be an icon in the tray thing at the bottom of the screen iwth things like the sound, and battery life. but there was not a lime in there. so i went and deleted old limwire folders and tryied again. no dice. didnt work. same message. so i tryed clicking "ignore"(it gave me options"abort""retry""ignore") until it was done installing. then it said it didnt install correct and to try again. didnt work. then i took my anger out in MS Paint and made random lines. thats about when i went to the limewire site which lead me here.

HELP ME PLEASE!!!!!
