Default Admin vs Limited account in XP - I can only install LW to an Admin account - Help ?

Hello all, hope this hasn't been posted/answered before...

If am running XP pro with the newest LimeWire (non Beta) and newest Java.

If I sign on with a Administrator account, everything works fine.

If I sign on with a Limited account I get "you need Java 1.5 or better" error.

I have tried uninstalling, reinstalling many times, always to know avail. I have to clean up (uninstall/delete) as much Java as I can, always with the same result. I have given a Limited account admin rights, installed all and everything works fine, then once I switch it back to a Limited account I get the error mentioned above.

I also have problems altering (in any way) the HKEY_LOCAL\Software Javasoft key, so I'm guessing it's a Java corruption issue, but for life of me, I can't figure out what to do.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

Mike
