I downloaded the 4.18 version, it appeared to install, but when all installation was complete, I clicked on the icon and nothing happens!! or I get a blank screen for a second or two, then its back where I started. I never had this problem.
I'm running windows XP 2000. What am I doing wrong?

Java

limewire

**SWEET MELODY**

Hello everyone. I'm new here, just wanting some direction and did not even know how to ask it until now? I'm having the same problem. it all appears to be installing, but when it's all done and i return to click icon to open nothing happens. i have uninstall/ installed about 3 or 4 times today

Try updating your Java: Java SE Downloads
Download the JRE offline installer & remove any other Java versions before installing this one.

Next, 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 change all of your settings within options, you'll have to go back through afterwards & reset things. If you're not sure of your settings, go through LW's tools > options & write them all down, so that you can reset things later.
If you're using Vista: LimeWire Pref Folder in Vista

If that doesn't help, right click on the LW icon > properties > compatibility. Try running in compatibility mode for Win 2000 or NT. If you're using Vista, run in compatibility mode for XP.

Do you have Alcohol software installed? If you do, look here.
LW starts then close, log: resolve_virtual_call
