Don't mean to interrupt, but I've been having simular issues. I my self have a very able pc but birdy has been trying to help and we've not found a solution. I have followed your instructions exactly, but when it is time for me to start up limewire it starts to load the user interface and then just closes. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the Java's online and offline, when I delete the limewire folders and start it up, the loading part will load and it will flash to the LW program for about 2-3 seconds then closes...my roommates are both complete morons and have LW running fine on their laptops, I even copied all their main files and tried to load what they have onto mine, its a later version, like 4.2 or something like that, but the same problems persisted, I am currently trying to get the recent one, 4.5.10 that I downloaded from limewire.com from...any suggestions?
