I am not very computer literate and I have been trying to re-install limewire basic....just a few weeks after my girlfriend un-installed it (not knowing that I used this software). So now when I try to download I get a message saying that the old version is preventing the new download from completing.
I've searched my computer and have found a few limewire files but am un-successful in deleting them.
here are the messages that I recieve when the download is unable to complete:

1) Output folder: C:\Program Files\LimeWire

Might be that your girlfriend used the Add/ Remove feature of the Control Panel to uninstall LW.
What I would try is, download the off-line installer of LW basic, uninstall the old JAVA, download the newer JRE off-line installer from here:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp

Then install first the Java, and afterwards try to install the LW client. Though I'm not sure whether that will solve your problem.....
Just post back and tell us how you got along......
