Windows Problems with installing LimeWire or WireShare for Windows users |

![]() Hi Franco, I had the same problem too. It's an easy fix, don't worry. What I think happened is that you tried to uninstall Limewire through your control panel rather than through the file included in the installation. Annoyingly enough, some programs are sometimes very difficult to uninstall properly. A good general rule of thumb is to always check the program group containing the program you want to delete. If there is an uninstall file, use it rather than uninstalling through the control panel. Okay, here's the fix: 1. go to www.limewire.com 2. Notice the giant "GET IT NOW" red download button, click it. 3. Click get basic 4. Select "I will not use LimeWire for copyright infringement" (or whatever) and click continue 5. Click on Windows (recommended) 6. Save this file to disk, open it up 7. Follow the instructions to install 8. This is pretty self-explanatory however; if in the middle of installation you receive a message saying "LimeWire is still running, please close it [abort] [retry] [cancel]" this is what you have to do: Minimize all windows to show only your desktop, and that silly little error message. Close that silly little error message. Click retry on the installation program. 9. If you would like to uninstall it again, do it through the file created through the installation, NOT THE CONTROL PANEL! 10. If you have problems like it opens and closes again over and over again until you go crazy, follow the steps that this fine fellow (BobbyNaini) has posted: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=39468 I hope that helps! Good luck and let me know! |
