opening limewire
 

Hi. I just downloaded and installed the newest version of LimeWire without any problems. However, when I attempt to open LimeWire, I receive an error message. It says:

Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
Assertion Failed! Program: C:\Program Files\LimeWire\LimeWire.exe
File: ../../../src/share/native/sun/awt/.../fontObject.cpp
Line: 506

Expression: errno == 0 && count == (size_t) size

For information on how your program can cause an assertion failure, see the Visual C++ documentation on asserts.

(Press Retry to debug the application - JIT must be enabled)


The three options to click are "abort," "retry," and "ignore" but none of them help fix my problem. Since I'm no computer expert, I'm not sure where I would find any kind of Visual C++ documentation. That's why I'm here, asking for your help. Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure what your problem is. Do you have the latest Java? Get the "Offline" Java installer from point #1 link here Fixes for Limewire
Downld the LW installer again, but this time get the "Offline" installer. It will uninstall the previous version at the beginning of installation.

I already have the newest version of Java installed.

if you have the newest "Offline" version, if u know what that means. then swap your versions of Java to see if that makes any difference. point #1 Fixes for Limewire It's just a thought. Generally these tickly things ends up finding the right combination for your particular setup. By offline i mean installing from your comp., not over the net. Might be worth deleting your LW prefs whilst you're at it if you have any.
