Yeah I might have to reformat.. Kind of sucks.

I downloaded FrostWire and it doesn't work either..

I did System Restore and went back a month in time (when Limewire worked), and now it won't even load.

hmmm...then try this before you do a reformat: simply reinstall Java (sounds like you went back in time before you had java, hence LW and FW won't even launch as they require jave}

lol. I've done it all man..

i'm have the same exact problem as everyone else, might there be a problem with the program rather than the computer.

this might be alittle off topic, but i tried to use frostwire, after uninstalling and reinstalling limewire 12 times along with java 4 times. the problem is frostwire doesn't even bother to start. can some one help me

Just as a test I tried doing a clean install of the newest JAVA and Limewire basic to see what the fuzz was about and had no problems what so ever getting it to run

Over 3 years old Laptop.
1.7 GHrz Pentium 4.
224 MB Ram.
52 MB Ram integraded videocard
Windows XP Pro (Service pack 2. Automatic updates. Ran the patch in Download/Upload problems)
Limewire 4.12.6 basic (Offline install)
Java 5.0 update 8 (Offline install)
AVG Free Antivirus
Ewido Antispyware
Sygate personal firewall

Yeah, I don't know what it is.. I'm gonna try scanning for viruses with all the anti-virus programs I have (even though I already have scanned).. I've posted on geekstogo.com for computer help, there's nothing wrong with my computer. Limewire randomly stopped working.. I've tried everything recommended and even more.

Have you tried this Java. Download the offline installer

have been using it for the last 10 versions and no problems

Remember to uninstall all Java before installing this one
