I couldn't run Limewire, either!! My BF got mad at me saying I screwed the computer...well, I'm glad to be able to prove I didn't!

I uninstalled both Limewire (1.6b) and Java Runtime (also made sure all the files were gone by using Windows Explore), and downloaded Limewire and Java Runtime (from Sun HP). Installed Runtime first, then Limewire. Well, then, it worked finally!

It seems to me that we just have to keep trying...untill it works!

I'm using English WinMe and Japanese WinMe with 2 different HDs (dual boot with "Boot Magic"), and this makes installing or uninstalling very complicated sometimes. And, of course, if anything wrong happens to the computer, that must be my fault! Non sense! I'm really happy to have come here and got some help for this "common problem" which everybody has experienced. I greatly appreciated!

Good luck, guys. Keep looking for some help and keep trying! You'll get there for sure.
