Try this...

Right-click the Limewire icon and go to properties and change compatability setting to Windows 2000. (but only if you're using Windows 2000 or later.) Somebody reported changing to Windows NT compatibility fixed their problem despite not using that operating system version.

Right-click on the Limewire icon on the desktop and click on Run as. Then it should come up showing the current user and then switch it over to Administrator. (but 'only' if you're the admin of your comp.!)

If you still have no luck try the preference folder/s again....

I tried the windows NT and 2000 thing. Windows just tells me it experienced an error and had to close limewire and is checking for a solution and so on.
Hey i dont know how closely you work with the developers but are they working on a fix or a new release of some kind?
And brisbane's a nice place I pass through there on occassion.

Glad that I haven't stepped into this nice conversation at an earlier stage........guess I would have had to borrow the buttered broomstick of our fellow friend Peerless.........well, never mind...

Here is my 5-cent-worth...

Sometimes one has to do a real hardcore clean cut (i.e. uninstall) of limewire due to some registry conflicts (as I have already experienced).

So, my suggestion would be:

LimeWire uninstall via START>Program>LimeWire>Uninstall
Then restart of the computer followed by a search of all remaining folders (including the Preference Folder& the Complete/Incomplete Folder) via START>Search for Files and Folders using the search query " limewire "

Then one should go to START>Run and type " regedit ". In the opening window one should use the search for all registry entries referring to LimeWire by using the same search query.
Afterwards a restart of the computer is advisable.....

Next step would be to uninstall Java (all present versions) via START>Control Panel>Add/Remove Programs.
Another restart after that is required.

From that point on one should have the off-line installer of both LW and the desired Java version as JRE (5.11 would be fine I guess) handy.

Firstly install the Java in safe mode and restart the computer.
Secondly install LW also in safe mode and restart again...

Cheers

Uninstall all versions of Java 6. (Any version of Java 5 is fine, it seems).

THIS IS THE PROBLEM.

And we just have to wait until the developers come out with a solution.

i uninsttalled java 6 update 3 and installed java 5 update 11. now it says i dont have java. i did reboot, like it said.

Did you uninstall all Java versions you had from the add/remove programs ??
