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.

Just a followup to my complaint about losing money after a failed LimeWire D/load! I am completely satisfied now and I am also sure that whatever happened has been resolved" I was able to re D/Load L/Wiresuccessfully for nothing after some advice from a lady from this forum, and I also recieved a Credit into my Visa Card for the amount of Money! I would like to thank ALL who helped at this forum, and reasssure anyone who may have had doubts about useing L/Wire that it is a perfectly OK to D/Load I just had a bad experience" again thanks to the Lady from L/Wire who advised me and other 's who helped and tried to help my Regards.

I have been using it for months and had very few problems. I was away from the pc for week and when tried to use it started this issue of not opening. I have removed the program and downloaded it again. I have updated Java. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks, Tony

Check the options here Fixes for Limewire. For Java that means uninstalling your present Java & reinstalling using only the 'Offline' version.

If you have problems installing LW, then see Download ‘Other’ version & simply unzip & use! but uninstall LW first by going to Start menu > Programs > LW > Uninstall

I tried installing the offline java and it took so long i had to cancel.How long is it supposed to load...
