i dont see how thats meant to help when my kazaa-lite required neither but still worked until recently!

kaaza was already removed.
i dont have an offline installer for java as it was bundled with the main prog.
besides i dont see how a re-installation will change things.

still, i'm so dam desperate here i'll have to try your advice anyway!!!

Well, if you're so desperate to find a solution but on the other hand question suggestion made by people who deal on a daily basis with such problems, then I'm not surprised that the problem continous.

Sometimes that Java installation gets from some reason corrupted. The link I've included for Java is the place where you can download the offline installer.

Since both programs have problems, it is to assume that the problem is connected to something on your system. By ruling out possible causes, we will be able to narrow the search for the problem.

However, I stand to my advice given in my first post and reckon you trying all the suggestions made there. Another option would be to search this forum for similar problems to see what other Mods. have advised. You will see that they make/ made the same suggestions.

well if the java installation was corrupted, then me un-installing it, then re-installing it, should fix it - BUT it didnt

an yes i believe it is to do with my systems setup, which is why i ask what changes i need make to it, with say regedit if need be, or whatever prog...

tried them all ages ago an they never worked!
huh

anyway, i mentioned all this on a massive forum an a guy suggested shareaza - an this actully worked!

so i say dump limewire an the others an use something thats gonna work.

ps- an he also said that Limewire user activity is monitored by the FBI !!!

you ever tried something else that uses the gnutulla network

i cant say as the p2p progs i use dont display the networks they use, just the search results.

but i have found...

that since ive been using the 'soulseek' p2p, it gives much more results than all its rivals ive noted.

however it does block webpages from loading when tiscali's accelarator is active
