Try saving the file, rather than running it. If the installer downloads, then find the installer that you've saved & open it.

If still no luck, try clearing IE's cache. Or try using a different browser.

Are you downloading from the official site? Official Website & Free Download - Lime Wire

Yeah i tried saving it and still the same message.

and i use the main site too. I never had a problem before, idk why its doing it now.

ive heard about cache before, but how do i really clear it?? idk how to get to doing that..lol.

I don't use IE but check this link out: Internet Explorer 7: How and Why to Clear Your Cache - Powered by Viscott Limited eSupport Support Center Software

If that doesn't help then try using a different browser

Ohhh haha. just another word for deleting history etc...I do that everyday basically. lol

Hmmm....do u think it would be because i have all Limewire stuff saving to an external hard drive?

I wouldn't have thought that having LW's downloads saving to an external drive would make any difference. Are you downloading the installer to your external drive as well?

Try changing the location for saving downloads within IE (not LW's downloads, just things that you download from the internet in general). Within IE's options there should be somewhere to change the location of saving downloads.

I don't have a Zune either, so I'm not sure whether the Zune software would interfere with files downloading. You could use Google to see whether other people have run into problems after downloading the latest Zune software.
Is it only LW's installer that you're having trouble with, or have you seen the same error when trying to download other files?

Which OS are you using?

ugh i have no idea how to do any of that.
No i havent seen any problem with downloading anything else, just LW.

The whole reason i have the external drive is because my LW took up all of my virtual memory, so thats why i got a 500gig external lol, now no problems, till i try to upgrade my limewire.

I think i might just remove my old LW completely and see if anything works after that. Like anything to do with LW.

If you're going to uninstall LW then see points 1 - 7 here: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/333278-post2.html

Just remember that if you're using a Pro version of LW, you'll lose that Pro version unless you have an installer saved or have current Pro benefits (so that you can download from your Pro download page)
