Use the suggestions here http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=47551 which means using the "Offline" installers for both LW & Java. If that still doesn't fix it, uninstall your Java using the add/remove control panel, then try the other version of Java in the link under point #1. Check which version you're using at the moment. If you're using 1.5 then 1.4.2 might be the go. But also delete your LW prefs folder as suggested.

need help on that issue too
 

I see others have my problem...LM was working great for the first 2 weeks, then have not been able to use it..."loading interface" keeps going, and going.
I've done the java thing, deleting the LM preferences and have reloaded the offline (MANY times).
I use XP, my firewall allows LM and so does my virus system.
I have the service pack 2.
Have no idea why it won't work..the absolute only thing that has changed since it works is I received updates from Windows for security issues?????
Please tell me what to do...I really want to use Limewire.
At my wits end.

fix
 

Hi, I had the same problem, all working fine, ran windows update, installed .net v2, did some spyware removal and something broke somewhere.... I tried reinstalling limewire, rebooting etc.. etc.. but was still bust, was just hanging on the initial splashscreen.

Anyway, I fixed it by uninstalling java from control panel and reinstalling from http://java.com/en/download/index.jsp

.NET v2 knackering java installs by any chance ?? now THATS one for the conspiricy theorists to get excited about :-)

Hope this helps someone else,

"LOADING USER INTERFACE"
 

I am having the exact same problems with both limewire and frostwire. Have done everything suggested including reinstalling windows but still stuck on "loading user interface" when I try to open. I have windows xp and and broadband connection. I am a bit of a novice but have an 'expert' helping me who understands all this stuff.
