Hi,
I really don't know why you'd want to use the LW player (I find it pretty awful) but if you really want to use it, try this: Delete LW's preferences folder when LW's properly closed. See point 3 here & also point 2 if you've used older versions of LW in the past (there could be a folder in either location).
Fixes for LimeWire
This will kill all of your settings within options, you'll have to go back through afterwards & reset things.

Hey thanks Bird,
I checked out the pages you sent me and printed them off. I will attemp the suggestions when I have a chance - my little one keeps me busy. I just find the player convenient while searching for new tunes. Thanks and I'll let ya know how things turn out.

I'm having the same message come up, I've tried all of the suggestions posted but I STILL cannot use, or open, Limewire. Any other suggestions?
