Thanks for your response. Where do I start... Ok, that Java webstart application manager has stuff in it called Draw4, Notepad, Military Game, Swingset2. These appear to be nothing more than plain junk. Referening the File, Preferences it references the Java runtime version 1.4. I removed all the older versions in WindowsXP's add/remove programes. I'm having a difficult time finding the relationship between this silly utility and the performance between Limewire. To Limewires error, they suggest to install this but fail to provide any relevance of it in regards to Limewire.

Is this Java webstart supposed to run while Limewire is active or what?

Take care,
