Hmm... It works for me (v.2.4.3). I had it running for the last hour and no probs. Try installing Java 1.4 (its on the LimeWire download page). Everyone here with this prob seems to have Java 1.3 and Windows 2000.

A version history would be appreciated to guess where this came from, but oh well.

Cheers :)

I have the same problem after upgrading to 2.4.3.
I have reintalled 2.2.3 (the version I bought) then allowed it to upgrade and it runs once then I get the same startup error.
I am running JRE 1.4 but I have also tried it under 1.3 with no joy.

I have had to go back to 2.2.3

Running on:
Windows XP
2Ghz P4
2048Mb RDRAM
128Mb Geforce 4 ti 4600
Soundblaster Audigy Platinum
120Gb HD
Connectiing to the net over 100baseT Ethernet on ISDN through a router.

There seems to be an error in the limewire pro update process, - send an email to the limewire team!

Same error
 

I am reciving the same startup error it only happens when I upgrade from 2.3.3 to 2.4.3 I works just fine untill you shut in down and restart it. I have used both the java 1.3 and 1.4 with no luck. does the java 1.4 need to be installed before lime wire?

Re - Java before Limewire.

Insall the Java 1.4 update and then re-install the Limewire update or version you prefer. I'm not happy with 2.4.4 either but I'm not getting errors after I updated to Java 1.4 and re-installed the update.

DoubleD

Startup Error
 

I too am getting the same error message. This only happens after you upgrade and you shutdown limewire. You must shut down limewire to get this error. Not sure what is going on, but, nothing seems to be able to fix it except not upgrading...

xp pro
1 gig amd athlon
512 mb ram
limewire version 2.4 (not working)

Startup error
 

I get the ClassNotFoundExecption at startup also. The problem started after upgrading to Limewire Pro 2.4.3

I have :
AMD1200
256 Meg Ram
Windows 2000
Java 1.4

When I tried to uninstall Limewire 2.4.3 Pro using Add/Remove programs from the control panel it wouldn't uninstall. Something was hosed up or corrupt from the upgrade. I manually removed the the Icons, Start menu items, and the c:\programFiles\Limewire directory. I then re-installed Limewire Pro 2.3.2, everything works great again. I even re-booted a couple of times to make sure.

One question: is there any way to disable the 2.4 upgrade pop-up window?? I don't want to hit yes by mistake.
