Microsoft's Virtual Machine and Limewire

Whew, I am not a happy camper tonight. I downloaded the new version of Limewire and started the installation. It told me I needed java console versionsion whatever it is (My old 2.55 version of limewire worked without no problem and YES it was installed on my system) so I clicked on yes install it again.

All installation works fine and I get the new version set up. I now go to my own java enabled website to check out a few things and I am told that I do not have Microsoft's Virtual Machine anymore and my own website will not run properly. What the HECK! Limewire and Java Console deleted my VM! (or at the least rendered it useless) I do not like using java console for my web browser. Its sloppy, my java applets are not smooth and and my photo slide show is jerky with the console.

I want my VM back. I go to microsoft website and they say its only available in the new service pack 1. Alright, I download the service pack and still no VM. What do I do now?

Limewire and or Java Console has deleted my VM so now how do I get it back and or if I actually have it, start it running again? I am clueless here, and pretty mad.
