I was on the phone with them for about 20 minutes. I just hung up, as a matter of fact. They told me that BellSouth did not block limeware . He told me to go to wikipedia.org and type in limewire. I'm trying that now.
Hope that will resolve issues!!!!!

Angry That didn't change things
I don't know why I was told to go to Wikipedia.org by BellSouth rep. That only tells about LW. Back to the drawing board. If anyone has any suggestions, pleeeez help!

It worked. I cleared all LW and Java. Downloaded JRE 5.11, reload LW and it worked. Many, Many, Thanks
