angel Hi.
JDK java is not correct, You should use the JRE 5.11 or even JRE 1.6 not the
JRE 1.6.u1 it has issues.
If you paid for Pro less than 6 months ago, I would Download 4.13 beta Pro
also, Now before your subscription runs out.

Chat is fixed in the new beta, so even if you don't want to install it now, Get
it & store all your L/W installers in a folder, Then you can always GO back to
an older version, anytime you choose.

Sounds like things have become jumbled. Lets try a clean up.

Follow these instructions exactly.
So, you need to Go, Start/All Programs/LimeWire n Uninstall all L/W versions.
Do Not Uninstall From Change or Remove Programs.
Re BOOT Your computer NOW.

Now Go to, Start/Search/click on all files n folders/more advanced options/
& make sure, case sensitive, is not ticked. (all other boxes should be ticked)
Now!!, Put limewire in box, (all or part of file name) & click search.
Delete everything found, including Prefetch folder, (I mean everything)
Re BOOT Your computer NOW.

Now! Go to,
START/Set Program Access/Change or Remove Programs,
now completely remove all versions of java.
Re BOOT Your computer NOW.

Now! Use this Link to get jre-5.11 Use the off line installer, NOT the (recommended) one,
http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads...jdk5.jsp...ITS the 5th one down.
When Download is completed.
Disconnect from internet, close ALL apps n reinstall java.

OH!!! Angel Turn your XP firewall on & restart your computer before you install L/W, then Give access when L/W applies.

Now!! Use this link to download latest L/W version using the off line installer
LimeWire
If you need help, Shout, If it fixed your problem or not, Feedback helps others.
Peace
