It sounds like possably a corrupt java download, &/or L/W Prefs folder prob
First! close L/W completly, then Go, START/My Computer/local disc C:/ Documents & settings/Your User Name/Application Data/ Now Delete the LimeWire Folder.
Now! Go to, START/Set Program Access/Change or Remove Programs, now completely remove all versions of java.
Now! Use this Link to get (jre1.5.0 09) Use the off line installer NOT the (recormended) one, http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp

Hm..... I was running the sixth Java update, not the newest 10th.... And that fix cut down a lot of the CPU usage.... but now it's jumping around erratically from about 5% to about 75%.... This certainly is the most odd thing I've ever seen a program do. Thank you for your help, though!

Edit: Nevermind all that, it's back to the 100% useage and internal errors.
