I try to start LimeWire and nothing happens. Whats the problem?
Firstly, make sure you are connected to the Internet. Weve noticed that on some modem systems you need to be dialed in (connected to the network) for the application to even appear. Were currently working to resolve that problem. However, please note you cannot run LimeWire if your connection to the Internet has not been established. LimeWire WILL NOT establish a connection to the Internet for you.
First check to make sure that LimeWire is not already running in your system tray (next to the time). If you see it, click the lime icon to restore LimeWire (you may need to click the left arrow “<" button to expand the system tray). If LimeWire is not running, you may have uninstalled it, or a spyware removal program may have miscategorized LimeWire as spyware and removed it from your computer (such as AOL's anti-spyware software), yet the shortcut still appears on your Windows desktop or taskbar. Please update to the latest version of LimeWire by downloading the installer (existing PRO customers can download here). If LimeWire is not running and is installed on your Windows system yet you still cannot launch it, Java may be corrupted. To correct the problem, uninstall the Java Runtime Environment from Add/Remove Programs (go to: Start > Control Panel) and then redownload and install it here.
Make sure you are connected to the Internet.You will not be able to search the Gnutella Network with LimeWire if your connection to the Internet has not been established. LimeWire WILL NOT establish a connection to the Internet for you. You may also have uninstalled LimeWire and the shortcut still appears on your desktop or taskbar. Please update to the latest version by downloading the installer.
