Answer 1

I had that same problem once. What you have is not likely a real copy of limewire. It is a version that some bored &^$%&^#$%^ kid made up to annoy people like us. You need to print out this reply, download the files further down in this reply, and restart your computer in safe mode. the easiest way to do this is to click start -> run -> type in "msconfig" and press enter. check off "diagnostic startup" hit ok, and restart your computer. when your computer comes back up go to my computer, anything with (C:) at the end, program files, and delete anything that referances limewire, delete limewire from your desktop, delete it from the start menu, then run the following programs;

"my computer" right click on (C:) properties, under the pie graph click on "disk cleanup", let it determin how much space it can save (may take a while), check off all items that donk have a 0kb next to them, and hit ok ( may take a while)

first, click on run cleaner ( may take a while)
when that is done, click on the issues button on the left hand side of the screen, click on scan for issues( may take a while)
when it is done scanning, click on fix selected issues
Yes you want a backup, click on fix all issues, and yes you are sure.

When you install this you will need to update it May take a while) before you can use it. after that you can immunize, scan ( will take long while) and fix all spyware problems. next, click on mode, and advanced mode. Click on +tools. click on system startup, make sure there is no referance to limewire.

This will also have to be updated right away before you can run, after that you can scan (will take a while) and fix all remaining spyware issues.

when those are complete, click on start, run, type in "msconfig" hit enter, select normal startup, restart your computer.

Ok now you need to put your java client back in.. so go to

Click on begin download and follow instructions.

Whew, when this is complete If I remember correctly, you should be all set, if not let me know. It's been six months since I fixed it on mine, so may have missed a step.. Good luck.

Delete every Limewire file that is on your computer. Go to add and remove programs and remove it that way then go to program files and remove Limewire's program file if it's there. Then do a computer search for Limewire incase there's something left. Then go to Java's website and redownload the latest version of Java.

Answer 5

Go to google and search for "Java JRE" - click on the first one. This in the Java you want. Download and install this. Even if you don't want limewire, you'll need it eventually.

Do like every one else and go to control panel and remove limewire.

Answer 6

Since Limewire is still active on your PC, it is able to send you pop up windows. Goto control panel-->Add remove programs-->Limewire and remove. This should uninstall the applicaition..

Answer 7

The easiest way to remove a program from your hard drive is to look for an uninstall or remove option from within its program group. You will find this by clicking the Start menu, then All Programs (or Program Files), and then choosing the program you want to uninstall.

Once inside this program group, you will usually see an icon to launch the program, a ReadMe file (documentation that tells you how to use the program), and, for our purposes, an option that enables you to remove or uninstall the program. Click this and follow the onscreen wizard to safely remove the program from your PC. You may be asked to reboot your computer. Only click to do so once you've saved everything that's open at that time.

Quick tip:
If you want to free up even more room on your hard drive, go to My Computer or Windows Explorer and right-click on the letter associated with your hard drive (usually C:). Click Properties, then click Disk Cleanup. Check off the desired boxes and it will tell you how much space it can free up.

When uninstalling a program, you may also get a message that says the program can remove a file that may be shared by another program. To be safe, keep these suggested files on your PC (they shouldn't take up much room on your hard drive, anyway). Similarly, when you uninstall a game, the program may ask if you want to keep saved game files (i.e. a bookmark of your progress). If you think that you will reinstall and play this game again, you can choose to keep these files.

Sometimes the program group may be the company's name. Move your mouse over the name and it will reveal which program(s) are inside.

Quick tip:
If you download a .zip or .exe file from the Web and then install the program to the hard drive, you can delete the original file once it's successfully installed.

Keep in mind that your PC automatically creates restore points while you're using your computer. That way, if you accidentally delete a program that you want to keep, you can revert your PC back to an earlier time. To do so, click the Start menu, then All Programs (or Program Files), then Accessories, and then System Tools. Click System Restore and the program will guide you through the steps.

Top of page
Take "Control"
Some programs do not give you the option to uninstall them from a program group. No problem. You'll need to go to the Start menu, select Control Panel, and then Add or Remove Programs.

It may take a few seconds for this page to load but once it is finished, it will display a long alphabetical list of installed programs. Once you see the name of a program you no longer want on your hard drive, click it, then click the tab to the right of it, which will say Remove or Change/Remove, and follow the prompts. A progress bar will show you how long it will take to safely remove the program. When it's finished, you will see the list once again.

Go through the list, but leave those programs that you are unsure of. Remember—you may use Microsoft Word all the time so do not uninstall Microsoft Office as Word is part of it. Some programs may not be familiar to you, but are required for another to run—a rule of thumb is to ignore it, especially if it doesn't take up too much space on your hard drive (you will see how many megabytes on the right-hand side of the program name). If the program is spyware or adware (such as SuperShopper Toolbar), then you may want to leave this for your spyware/adware program to sniff out and safely remove. Two good free programs are Ad-Aware and SpyBot, both of which are available at Download.com. You can also download the free new Microsoft Windows AntiSpyware (Beta).

Quick tip:
This article focuses on uninstalling entire programs, but it's even easier to delete individual files. Once you're inside My Computer or Windows Explorer, simply highlight the files you no longer want on your hard drive and tap the delete button or right-click and select Delete. This will send all unwanted files to the Recycle Bin for safekeeping—until you're sure that you no longer want them.
