Had LW for years and had no probs at all. That was untill a couple of months ago when the shortcut on my desktop stop working. It does nothing when i click it. The mouse pointer spins as if it's going to open LW but nothing happens
![]() I've tried uninstalling and re installing many times, today being the most recent, but still it's having none of it. Does any one know how to fix this ![]() Thanks |

Go to Start menu -> Programs -> LW & see if the programs starts from there. Or better still, go directly to the program folder & see if you can open it directly. If it does open, then replace your old LW shortcuts with new ones. Shortcuts do have a tendency to become corrupt.
Otherwise, try deleting your LW Preferences folder whilst LW is closed; instructions here: Point #2 & 3 in Fixes for Limewire (sample image included at bottom of page.) If still a problem, remove all your java versions & install Java 1.5_11 see link in point #1 in Fixes for Limewire. |
