Here's a tidbit of info about windows XP (home or pro) it released with an issue with java. The only cure is to uninstall the version of java that limewire installed on your system ... the go to sun microsystems http://java.sun.com/getjava/download.html and download the windos xp compatable java client.

Be sure to unistall the version that limewire installed before installing the version that you download.

On next limewire start it will say that it cant find javaw.exe and ask if you want to locate it yourself ... it will be in C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.1\bin

Enjoy.
