okay i'm having some trouble with limewire. at the college that i'm going to next year they recommended that we get the labtops through the college so that we get all the support we want, free upgrades, etc. what i came to find out during my orientation was that at my school we can download limewire, so i figured i would just do it at home. i've tried and tried to get it to download but as soon as it starts installing i get an installation error, saying that the installation failed and it stops in mid process. then my new labtop says to install it using their recommended process, but it just does the same thing. so i don't know if it's my computer or if it has something to do with my college blocking me from downloading it

can anyone help, pleaseeeee???

I am have the ecact same problem that ADuncan is having . I have had LW for several years and a few day ago it froze up at 12%. I uninstalled it and reinstalled it, it then showed me a message that another limewire was running in the background. I did a search and completely deleted and uninstalled everything with lime wire. I then reinstalled and it has frozen up again at 12%. What is the problem and how can i fix this. Getting very disgusting. Never had problems before

Hi Sherry,

What version of Java are you using? Some people have had this trouble with the latest Java versions. Try this older Java instead. Download the JRE offline installer & remove your current Java version(s) before you install this one.

If things are still stuffed, delete LW's preferences folder when LW's properly closed. See point 3 here & also point 2 if you've used older versions of LW in the past (there could be a folder in either location).
Fixes for LimeWire
This will kill all of your settings within options, you'll have to go back through afterwards & reset things.
