hyelp!

Please do not make multiple posts.
I have deleted your other exact copies of the above post.
Be patient and you will have replies.
A tip... When writing the title of your thread/post, be more verbose/specific when describing your question/problem...

Error logs do not necessarily attract the eye of users who can probably assist you.

Cheers and welcome to GF !

Did you try to uninstall limewire in any way from the add/remove programs ??
The correct way to uninstall is Start > All programs > Limewire/Uninstaller

Use your computer's search to look for all files & folders with limewire in the name. If you can't delete them, reboot into safe mode & then try. If they still won't delete, try one of the tools here...
Incomplete Download File won't delete at all.

Now try re-installing the new version...;)

ursula, apologies. It was not a matter of patience, rather that my browser told me that my posts were not being recorded on teh forum. thanks for your advice.


wondering why, many thanks for your advice, it worked a treat. I have never heard of 'safe mode' before, but it seems a very handy thing to know. Im now limewiring like before!!

I'm glad your up and running again..

The multiply posts where not your fault, the thread was moderated and had to be allowed, because of the error code...In which if you did not supply it I would not of known the solution to your problem...

So in other words you did everything right...;)
