Well it doesn't look good. It may come to et voila's suggestion.

I think your registry is messed up. Uninstall Java completely from control panel>add or remove programs.

After that uninstall LimeWire from start>all programs>LimeWire --- You will find an uninstaller there(hopefully). Then go to control panel>add or remove programs --- see if LimeWire is listed there --- if so remove.

Then use windows explorer and search for any references to LimeWire and Java. If you find any delete them.

Then run an anti-virus scan. I would also suggest downloading spybot and ad- aware. If you don't have these search(upper right) for --- ursula --- in right hand side --- click any reslut. Her signature line has a link to the various software I just mentioned.
Run them after you d/l them.

Then run a registry cleaner. you can find one here. http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...gistry+cleaner

After you have done all this d/l and install the latest version of java then LimeWire.

It sounds as though you may have been infected with a virus, trojan or worm.

These steps may not even work, and you may have to end up having to uninstall WindowsXP, formating the hard drive and re-installing. Sometimes this is the only remedy, depending on the extent of the damage done.

Best of luck
