Humm well i know nothing about java and dont even know why we need it but my limewire was working fine with the versions of JAVA i deleted up until yesterday. My system i think came with those JAVA versions and i got it from EVESHAM. so it worked fine with them, i can only guess that somewhere yestarday or last time i use LW the JAVA/LW registry must have got corrupted or missing a file. but no matter im just glad it works.

I hope that by removing the JAVA versions i had before that it does not hinder anything on my system that needed it.

One thing i noticed now is that my LW is really slow. dont know why its bow only downloading at 3-7 kb/s while before it was around 60. i set it to the same setting i had before also.

well i wil try and figure it out and see what i can do. but at least i can download b*ttlestar and *tlantis now lol

thanks again
