Thank you for your reply. I have been removing each version before reinstalling java. I am now running the 1.5.0_11 with no luck after running the 1.6.0_07 that did notseem to work either. I can never seem to find the file .limewre so I remove Limewire completely. I don't think Vista uses the folder .limewire but I could be wrong. And yes I do have to go back through the LW install wizard each time. No matter what I set my compatibility to, it reverts itself to the XP setting. I had been removing through Add/Remove, but then followed your uninstall suggestion. I also followed LOTR's post and used the cleaner and installed the older version of LW, but that stays at the Loading Internationalization Support page also. I'm not sure of any other p2p apps and I don't know anything about being an admin as this is my home computer. Don't worry about to many questions, I appreciate your help.

Right click on LW's desktop icon > properties. There should be the option to run as administrator...make sure that you choose that option.

If that doesn't help, try one of these older versions. Download the installer, then uninstall your current version. Run CCleaner, then install the version that you've just downloaded. Restart your computer & see whether LW loads properly.

LW 4.16.7: LW basic 4.16.7.exe

LW 4.14.6: LW basic 4.14.6.exe

There is a check in the Admin box. One quick question before I try one of the older version. Which Java version should I have installed when I try the older versions? Thanks again.

Go with the latest update (JRE 6 update 7) first. If you have problems, then you could revert back to the older Java & give that a try
