freezes at "installing java"
 

everytime that i run the installation, it says installing java, and keeps doing that. it basically freezes b/c it won't go past that point. no matter how long i wait or how many times i try. i have no idea what to do. i used to have it work, but then i upgraded my comp to xp and it just keeps doing this over and over.

any idea. please help

thanks

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 the offline installer 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.

when i save that java file, should i then run it?, or first install the limewire and then uninstal it?

Install Java first then install LimeWire

do i install the "recommended" windows installer or the offline one?

The offline one

ok. so i have both of them installed. now what do i do?

Do you mean you have downloaded both of them. If you have open the java file and install it then open the LimeWire file and install it

yea. i downloaded both of them. do i know hoave to install them. or uninstall them like u wrote earlier?

If you have not uninstalled your previous versions then uninstall them if you can. If you can't don't worry about it for now in most cases it is not necessary. Just install Java first then Limewire.

it says that there is another installation going on adn won't let me continue to install java. does that mean that i have java somewhere. and if so, should i delte it and re download it and then install it?

Reboot your computer and try installing java again it should install after you reboot.

ok. thx.. i'll try. and if anything goes wrong. i will talk to you again. otherwise, i'll probably talk to you tomorrow

It is time for grandpa to go to bed if it doesn't work post back I will reply before I go to work in the morning.

ok. i restarted my comp like u told me to. it started installing java, then got close to then end and stopped. possibly froze?? i don't know. what should i do?
