LW PRO will not open....Help!

[gandellj]

Limewire Pro starts out like it ie going to load. Right after the bottom of the LW screen says searching for windows library it stops. A new ICON is
created on the program manager, however there is no ICON in the lower
right corner. I have windows xp, the newest version of JAVA and Norton
Security. I have tried just about everything, ie changing Java to JDK 5.11, loading from offline installer. I am not very computer savy, so I really could use help.

Have you tried going into the limewire folder (in program files) and double-clicking the 'limewire executable jar file'?

Just tried it. SOS. It tries to open and then just disappears.
Thank you for helping.

Try deleting your preference folder...
Fixes for Limewire when LW isn't operating as it should

Also what Norton do you have ??

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Worked like a charm. Went into .limewire folder. Deleted everything in it.

Went back and loaded LW PRO. It worked.

Thank you so much.
