I've been trying to load Limewire on to my sister's new PC. It is Windows Vista. Every time after most of the download process I getting a wee box saying "corrupted file", abort and install again, trouble is I keep getting the same message over and over. Any suggestions anyone?

Someone had said something about compatibility issues but as I'm a complete PC thicko I have no idea about that either.

If anyone knows how this can be cured could you please be very specific with any instructions, cheers.

Sounds like the actual installation file is corrupted , or if its burnt on a disk the pc is having trouble reading it.

Download a fresh version of limewire and try again.

Got it on one of my sisters PCs , it works , but it keeps asking loads of questions whenever she opens it ..

[Yen_Sid]

Nope it's still giving same message no matter how often I try downloading.

Anyone?

Right, I downloaded Limewire from my own pc onto my memory stick, checked it out and everything was fine. Took it to my sister's place and tried to install it onto her pc from my memory stick, same message Corrupted, abort and try again. What the fck is going on, surely some of the smart cnuts can sort this out, slick, MP, Winrew. Help me you bastards!! Must be something simple surely?

If it's not the Limewire installation files, then it's obviously something wrong with the PC/operating system. A corruct windows file rather than a corrupt Limewire file.

That means you might not be able to install it without repairing the corrupt Windows file. Which file it is, your guess is as good as mine!

No idea Napoleon, it is a brand new pc though, so, surely everything should be ok?

Try clearing the the internet browser's cache and start the download again. It's possible that you've downloaded a corrupt version first off, then everytime you download it after that it's just redownloading the cached version of the program.

To clear the cache in Internet Explorer go into "Tools" - "Internet Options" - "Browsing History Delete" then delete the temporary internet files, etc.

To do it in Firefox go into "Tools" then "Clear Private Data".
