Errors

Limewire seemed to just stop working - would not find any search results no matter what was being searched and has been getting nothing for 2 days despite saying it was connected. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling and got an error message when i tried to install the program (before it would even start installing). I even tried downloading the beta version and trying that one instead but the same error came up. I have posted the error that comes up, it means absolutely nothing to me but someone here might know what it means:----LimeWire version 4.14.10Java version 1.5.0 from Sun Microsystems Inc.Windows XP v. 5.1 on x86Free/total memory: 31452024/33357824com.limegroup.gnutella.gui.GUILoader$Start upFailedException: invalid xml.war at com.limegroup.gnutella.gui.GUILoader.sanityCheck(G UILoader.java:292) at com.limegroup.gnutella.gui.GUILoader.load(GUILoade r.java:57) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Nativ e Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(Unknow n Source) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(Un known Source) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Unknown Source) at com.limegroup.gnutella.gui.Main.main(Main.java:45) STARTUP ERROR!-- listing properties --SESSIONS=171COUNTRY=USDISABLE_DHT_NETWORK=falseCUS TOM_FD_CRITERIA=ups;atUpSet;

no one has any suggestions?

Well, you could've used the forum search to look for answers, instead of waiting for 2 days for a reply

Try updating to the latest version here : Java SE Downloads
Download the JRE offline installer & remove any other Java versions (Add/Remove programs) before installing the new one.

If that doesn't help, try the fixes below.

1. In LW go tools > options > searching > basic & check whether the 'show license warning' box is ticked. If it does, untick it > Apply > ok...see if that makes any difference.

2. Problems with the search

3. 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 change all of your settings within LW's options, you'll have to go back through afterwards & reset things to the way you like them.
