limwire opens then crashes
 

I have windows vista home premium. the latest versions of it at limewire. when i open limewire it loads normally. it opens to the main screen. then after about 2 seconds it closes. there are no errors. i have tried reinstalling thinking that maybe there was a glitch or something, but it still wont open. i dont have the slightest idea what is wrong with it. i hope someone can help...

Running the latest version of Java?

Yea...

Latest version of Limewire, right?

Mine was doing that to me, along with flashing and other weird stuff, and updating the Java fixed it. Of course, I'm running XP Pro.

Not behind a software firewall or a router, are ya? I'm assuming Vista still has that Window$ security suite crap.

Well the thing is that it used to work. It just recently started doing this, but i will try reinstalling java

I'm having sortof the same trouble. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Limewire and Java repetitively. It acts like it is going to open and it just stays on the main screen and gets stuck at 12% and won't go any further

thats not exacly what happends to me. mine loads and opens like everything is ok, then it just closes

there was finally an error message that came up
#
# An unexpected error has been detected by Java Runtime Environment:

# Problematic frame:

any ideas?

I am having the same problem with XP Home, I will try some of these fixes, and post the results.

Well so far none of this has worked. I will try the java again becuase im not sure if it unistalled. But just to remind everyone, i load it perfectly fine. I DO NOT stop at 12% i load the ENTIRE way with no problems.

just tried that the jave thing again. still didnt work. ive changed everthing to admid, i didnt do the 12% thing seeing as im not getting stuck there, any more ideas?

Lime... What???
 

I Am getting sick and tired of this, but I tried (I guess) everyting that birdie recomended to no avail; I even tried another one that were recomended and the same thing: no errors, just start, opens and then closes, leave an icon on the taskbar, but when I go there it dissapears. Any more ideas- solutions to this??? I have been reading a lot in the forum and tried differente versions of Java and LW, trying to install in a 3.0, Xp PRO, SP2 Machine.

you could try deleting your preferences folder if you havent tried it if you want to try that click this link read #2 3 and the note.

I have tried that, maybe it will work now since there has been a java update
