It seems no LimeWire version 5 including Pirate Edition will launch directly under Java 7 (1.7). This was obviously some kind of oversight error by the LW 5 developers. Which was also not realised when LPE was created. An oversight. Funnily, LW 4 versions are unaffected by this and will run happily under Java 7.

A workaround fix for this issue was posted by pongo1 "here".

At this point I do not know if this affects Linux users. Nor do I know if it will affect MacOSX users since OSX is still using Java 6 at this present time.

Hey, I'm having problems with sharing and don't wish 2b a parasite! Am running FileGirl's version with Pongo's shortcut on a Windows XP Pro sp3v6223, am on a wireless connection (Belkin 600-N Dual Band WPA2-PSK) and I did try FileGirl's WindowsFix but couldn't run it as admin due to need of a password ? I do not know how to deal with this I'm as green as the grass but can follow clear directions if someone would please be so kind ? Oh yeh, I almost forgot, I'm running Java 7 and used the downloader link (also from File Girl) That is why I made the shortcut! I am able to download files even though I am getting a message of " you are offline please check your internet connection" and am getting five blue bars!
