Hey 6_Pac

When a person installs the 64bit version of Java the (X86) version is installed also. So theoretically there should be no issue with installing the 64bit Java if you are running a 64bit OS.

well, still drawing a blank. Hoping someone somewhere comes up with a version upgrade or a fix that sorts this out cos i think i'm getting withdrawal symptoms....

i don't think it has anything to do with vista. im running XP and im having the exact same problem.

im running XP home, 1 GB RAM, 80GB hard drive, intel pentium M Processor @ 1.70 GHz, Java 6

it has to be a java problem. im going to find an earlier version.

Yeah, problem is that it says everywhere that for limewire to work on vista, you need java6. Actually got it to start the other day by starting 2 instances of the program, the OS killed the first but left the second running. Only worked the once though, think it was cos of the "first time setup" thing. Still, Ares ftw, use that now... no problems.

About 10 days ago my java software was updated from 1.5.0 update 12 to 1.6.0 update 2. Thought nothing of it. Two days ago I tried to bring-up LimeWire without suggess. Sent the error message to Sun. Found out that when the update occurred, the old version was not completely replaced. I completely uninstalled/deleted both versions and reinstalled the 1.5.0 update 12 version. (Haven't tried reinstalling the update. Bad vibe's.) LimeWire is happy. I'm happy. LG
Java SE Downloads - Previous Release - JDK 5 for ver 1.5.0 update 12.

My problem, my fix. Hope it works for you.

YES! OMG THANK YOU BITBUSTER!

for those who are having the same problem, i installed limewire, which installed version 6, then i uninstalled version 6 and installed runtime 5 update 12 and now it works perfectly.

experiencing the same problem, it is a JRE 6 compatibility issue with Limewire, uninstall JRE 6 and install JRE 5 and it will work, wait for a new java or limewire update.
