To uninstall versions of LW before LW 4.4 then use the Add/Remove control panel. Otherwise go to the Start menu>Programs>Limewire>uninstall. You cannot use the "Repair" function on LW later than version 4.4

Can you give us a total desciption of your set up:
1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98)
2. What firewalls you have?
3. How much ram?
4. Hard Disk space available?
5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.)
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers?
7. Where are you trying to connect from (home, school, work, etc.)?
8. What version of Limewire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version.
9. Who is your isp provider?
10. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user.

Use the Add/Remove prog. Control panel to remove the previous version of Java & then install Java 1.5 (but save the Java installer to your comp, don't install java over the net!!! Then install Java from your comp.) See my previous link for a link to Java 1.5 installer JRE!
