When you run the shortcut to limewire, and the "Searching for javaw.exe" Window comes up, quickly hit browse, then go to your WINDOWS folder (C:\Windows) and select javaw.exe. Now your Limewire 1.5 should work, enjoy :)

I'm guessing the answer is Windows98. Also, can someone with a broken LW run the Windows search command and tell me where javaw.exe is located on your system?

Thanks to those who have reported the problem and reported fixes.

Hey, that Javaw.EXE file I don't believe comes with that latest Java standard Edition2. I noticed I got my Javaw.EXE file from an older version of Java Standard Edition2. I reccomend getting an older version of Java Standard Edition2 somehow and then installing that latest version of Java Standard Edition2. Eh!? How many times did I type Java Standard Edition2?! 1..2...oh nevermind.

He means uninstall new.net, which is causing the problem. You can use add/remove, or ad-aware, depending on what works.
