I have been attempting to install Limewire for a week with this same problem.

I am able to choose the language and all other steps except for firewall preparation. It states.." some firewalls will ask permission for Limewire to use the network. You should allow Limewire full access.''

The problem is, this so-called window never pops up. And I don't know how to access it. So it just stays frozen on firewall preparation.

Can anyone please help me?

If you have a router, then port-forward it

but it keeps freezing.

You will need to install Java and LimeWire manually First go to the first link.You can find Links to java in there Download Java to your hard drive by putting a mark in the save to disc box. Save it to my documents or wherever you save downloads from the internet. Do the same with LimeWire the second link will take you there.

Now with that done click on start then control panel add/remove programs and see if Java is listed on the list if it is uninstall it. Do the same with LimeWire if the un installers were not loaded you may have to manually delete the files. But in most cases this is not necessary.

Now click on the Java installer you saved to your hard drive and follow the instructions after you have completed that do the same with LimeWire.

Please post back and let us know if it worked. If it did not I will give further instructions on manually deleting Java and LimeWire.
