Missscotland...A couple of things to try...
Try uninstalling your Java from the add/remove programs and then re-install the JRE 5.11 offline version....
Archive: Download Java 2 Platform Standard Edition (J2SE) 5.0 Update 11

Also try configuring your McAfee security center with limewire...

Last but not least, Tiscali are known to shape your connection at peak times...
