princess318,

The current version of LW works with Vista. The problem most people are having is is that LW won't work with Mcafee on Vista. So if you have McAfee installed on your pc, you'll need to uninstall it for LW to work. Replace it with AVG free Or try what LeeLee80 did:

Then d/load and install Java 6, the one called (Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6u1) using the offline installer http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp

Then d/load and install LW using the offline installer: http://www.limewire.com/english/content/download.shtml
