If you are running 64 bit windows xp then this may help I found one answer, decided to sticky it but it applies systems running 64 bit windows http://www.gnutellaforums.com/window...wer-found.html post #7.

When you get to the Java site's installation page you will see an option for Offline installation. This option is always safer. Offline installer means you download the installer to your computer with all the data inside the installer itself. Whereas the online installer means you download just the basic installer which then downloads the data over the internet during the installation process.

LW 5 requires at least Java 1.6 (also called Java 6). LW = LimeWire.

My suggestion would be to:

1. Remove all previous versions of Java using the control panel. Install 64 bit Java 1.6. http://www.java.com/en/download/faq/java_win64bit.xml

2. Use the Start menu -> All Programs -> LW -> Uninstall.

3. Delete any LW preferences folder you can find: Steps 2 & 3 here Fixes for Limewire (click on blue link)

4. Run Crap Cleaner

5. Download & run this version of LW: Download ‘Other’ version & simply unzip & use!

* If LW has same message that it cannot find Java, then remove the 64-bit Java & install the 32-bit Java instead.
