I just installed limewire without a drama. I am running vista home premium 32 bit. I have got java 6 but every time i try to run limewire i get the following error. I have uninstalled and re-installed a few times and have even re-downloaded the installer 3 times and Java twice:
Limewire version 4.13.2
Java version 1.6.0 from Sun Microsystems Inc.
Windows Vista v. 6.0 on x86
