I've been using vista ultimate since it was released and I've been
using lime wire on it since then too but recently it wont work,
ok so when I open it, it comes up with the splash screen as normal
then it'll open the normal window for about 2 second then it will
close itself. The tray icon is still there until I hover my mouse
pointer over it then that disappears too.

Any help appreciated
Thanks in advance

First line of defense would be to use System Restore to take you back to a
time prior to when this began. System Restore it meant to only restore your
settings and registry to a particular point in time but you should make sure
your data is well backed as a precaution before using it. Start
Menu\Programs\Accessories\System Tools\System Restore.

If that fails to resolve it, you can try removing it using Programs and
Features in Control Panel and reinstalling it.

Good advice Mike. I would also suggest a virus and spyware scan to eliminate
those as possibilites. Also check for limewire software upgrades.

Thank you, Ron and I concur, a virus scan and scan for malware would also be
in order.

Try right-clicking the file> Properties> Compatibility tab.
Check "Run this program in compatibility mode for WinXP".

Also, if you have DEP turned on for all programs and services-
add Limewire to the exceptions list. Or, switch DEP to only
"essential Windows Programs and services".

Lastly- you may want to try right-clicking program>Properties,
go back to the Compatibility tab and look under "Privilege Level",
check "Run this program as an administrator".
