I think this is the same problem the Win2K people are having. It occurs to me with both Limewire 1.7 and 1.7c, and JRE 1.3.1.

If I run Limewire while logged in as the NT administrator, it works fine. If I run it while logged in as a regular user, it quits before the splash screen appears and a file with a name like "hs_err_pid242.log" is created in the Program Files/Limewire/1.7c folder.

This is a problem as I do my normal work on my machine while logged in as a regular user; I only log in as administrator when doing administrative things.

I installed both Limewire and the JRE as administrator.

The contents of the crash dump file is as follows:


An unexpected exception has been detected in native code outside the VM.
