![]() The other day I attempted to "update" my limewire. When I went to open it, there was a message saying that the installation was corrupt and that I should re-download. So I uninstalled the program, and I re-downloaded Java, and the download still won't work. The alert message says something like "You do not have privileges to install limewire. Please restart the installer as an asministrator or power user." But I'm the administrator of my computer. Any suggestions would be much appreciated! ![]() |

1. Try deleting your LW Preferences folder whilst LW is closed; instructions here: Point #2 & 3 in Fixes for Limewire (sample image included at bottom of page.) 2. Run this small utility: CCleaner.com 3. Download & use this version: Download ‘Other’ version & simply unzip & use! *** How did you uninstall LW? If you used the add/remove control panel then that's why the problem. (LW should not be uninstalled using the control panel.) Answer to is basically steps 2 & 3 above. Re-installing LW will remove the previous LW at beginning of installation. Else, start menu > Programs > LW > Uninstall. ![]() |

![]() I thank 'Lord of the Rings" for his recent posting on this matter with the Limewire fix. I have to make a comment on it though..... 95% of the computer users out there (USA & Canada)wouldn't have a clue on how to follow even these simple instructions on getting Limewire working. I know, because I deal with them on a daily basis ! AND, it seems, that the Limewire software makers know about the issue, BUT say they are 'trying' to fix it for the 'next' version(s). I like Limewire, but these program gliches are getting more than annoying, but at least the current versions are adware/spyware free! As in my posting, I made no alterations to the program, I simply changed the video card, of all things, and it worked just fine from the original install ! I do know that there are issues with NVidia & ATI on Direct3D & OpenGL applications and believe that there is an issue with J2SE_1.4.x and newer versions with a major lot of newer NVidia cards. I've never had a Limewire loading issue yet with any ATI card that I've ever used and/or installed ! For those who've done everything possible to get Limewire to work and can't, get your hands on an ATI card, Rage, Radeon or newer, and give it a try. Betcha it works just fine without program modding !!! |

![]() i managed to get a response from limewire and guess what i was told to buy LW Pro again as my subcription has run out i thought when you bought pro you only had to buy it once you get support for six months free. but as my subcription was almost a year ago i can't download it again unless i buy it again. |
