When I opened limewire it asked me to upgrade to 4.14 or whatever the new version is. I tried to do this but now everytime I open limewire all I gert is this prompt that says "One or more necessary files appear to be invalid. This is generally caused by corrupted installation. Please try downloading and installing LimeWire again." Then it has this...

LimeWire version 4.12.6
Java version 1.6.0_03 from Sun Microsystems Inc.

I don't know what all of this means but I tried downloading LimeWire again but that didn't work. Then I tried deleting all my Java applications and redownloading it but that didn't work either. Plase help me fix my LimeWire! Thank you!

Maybe you should try cleaning your registry in between the uninstalling and reinstalling processes. My first try of uninstalling and reinstalling both Java and Limewire didn't make any improvements. But in my second try I used CCleaner to clean the registry before I reinstalled them both.
