I've got the same / similar problem. For me I can't get Limewire ver. 2.4.4 even started. A Limewire window pops up with the Limewire logo & messages at the bottom that say it's loading options & such, then get a bigger window that says "Running the Gnutella Network" at the top pops up for a few seconds then it disappears.

I've done the "Gnutella OK" test - no problem. I've got a cable modem connection to the internet so I'm always connected. I've loaded the latest JAVA Runtime environment 1.4.0 then installed Limewire. Every combination of uninstalling & reinstalling Limewire & the Java Runtime environment, but it's always the same result.

Sure hope someone comes up with a fix to this soon!!!
