Try reinstalling Java using the manual (offline) installer. Install Java first
http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp

Now install LW using it's offline installer

yep, it seems that this worked out!!

"If you are reading this, and you are getting the grey screen at startup, try right clicking the icon, going into the properties dialog box, and changing your "Compatibility Mode" to something else... even if what you are trying seems like the best option."

I have a similiar problem to rdnek's.
Just before the installation downloads the unpacked Jars.7z, i get an error saying that MSVCR71.dll was not found. If i do nothing and allow the download to finish i get an error saying the installation is corrupted. I've tried reinstalling java first and i get the same problem. Limewire used to run fine for me too but i had to reinstall windows too.
Thanks in advance for any assistance

1. Download & install this MSVCR71.dll file then: http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dl....shtml?msvcr71

2. You might also want to clean the unneeded out of your registry; cc cleaner http://www.ccleaner.com/

Follow the instructions on that site. If you need an unzipper, there's a free one here which is similar to winrar except is free; it's called TUGZIP: http://www.warp2search.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=4139

1. I would suggest using your Add/Remove Control panel to remove Java & then re-install using the "Offline" java installer; Java 1.5 (take the JRE)

2. Get the "Offline" LW installer from here: http://www.limewire.com/english/content/download.shtml

* Use this utility before re-installing LW: http://www.ccleaner.com/

Did you attempt to use the Add/Remove Programs Control panel to remove LW? IF yes, that's the incorrect way to uninstall LW.

I downloaded the Backup Installer but when it had just unpacked the files near the end of installation it gave a message saying that the installation was corrupted, this happened when i used the original installer from Download.com where i was redirected from the main website.. Any ideas on how to help me? I originaly used Morpheus but Morpheus sucks ***
