Hi, Vista, Java, limewire :(
 
I am like too old for this and should have a computer tech living in my house for the amount of times I find myself helping others with computers.. anyone interested, my number is ... 0406 nut job.. lol kidding.. .. I am trying to help my daughter in law set up limewire on her acer laptop that her mum sold her.
I have limewire.
Then I had to download java. Which I did.
Now Java won't load and an error message comes up saying "this is not a valid windows application" or some such message.

I can't run limewire without java and the java wont load. She has Vista running. Is there anything else I need to tell you before I go fix the TV Antenna??

First thing to try is right-click LW & choose run as Admin. See if it opens. If not then reinstall all from scratch using this technique: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/333278-post2.html :)
(For Vista, both the installer & then the installed LW program should be set to run as Admin) ;)

If still problems, check the topics here which might be the issue: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/genera...ta-issues.html :)

Thank you for your help. I will check this and leave a comment if it works (after Tea is prepared) and if not, pester you a little more.
