THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!!! I joined this forum just to say thank you for this fix. I've been searching all over the limewire website and getting bad advice from all over, and finally, I got an answer that worked-- uninstalling java.

It looks like a lot of people are having a similar problem of late. Maybe an administrator should post the fix on the front page of the forums? Just a thought.

again, many thanks. I wasted a lot of time and frustration fixing this.
