A fresh install of both Java & LW using both of their "Offline" installers & deletion of prefs folder should do the trick.

BTW did you configure your firewalls & modem/router for upnp/port forwarding; Connection problems? Check here first! (click on link)

Well if you've tried all those things to the letter then the problem is your system. Reformat your computer & reinstall everything for a fresh start. You obviously have a corrupted system. Otherwise play around with kazaa.

Did this only happen after upgrading to 4.12.6?
No reason why it should work but have you tried going back to an earlier version, like you used when LW was running ok?

AAAAAAAAAH

I've uninstalled every java I had on my computer, uninstalled everything from Limewire, reinstalled all of it, still doesn't work. Then I removed Java, and that was the closest I ever got to running Limewire when it said "Go to java.com and download java"!!! Then I tried going to java.com and installing a different version of Java, still didn't work!!

I can't run Limewire 4 anymore, it sucks ******* terribly, its slow as hell and I'm not used to it.

ermmm...whilst I use the Fbomb all the time, I gotta say that yur nick is a tad over the top for most any forum...

anyways, it seriously sounds to me like you've got some other issue besides LW...a type of issue usually caused by downloading some sort of BAD file...it wouldn't surprise me in the least bit if it was a file 'supplied' by the MAFIAA that was intended to make LW not work...now, since I have no earthly idea of just exactly what it did to your OS I can be of no help in that regards...but, I am quite sure that reformatting your HDD and doing a clean install and then reinstalling LW will work..sorry for the bad news, but its a fact of life if you wish to be a file sharer...I've had to do it quite a few times myself, so don't feel alone...
