STARTUP ERROR!

Tried everything. Removed Java and re-installed. Remove Limewire and re-installed. Nothing. Still get the same error.

HELP!

i have also tried everything and have given up with limewire!It sucks because the only one that i can get Is bearshare and they suck!

Try This Faydedbryan

Go Back and totally delete ALL of L/Wire from Add & Remove Programs as well as> Start > All programs> L/Wire Delete. as well as "Quicktime" then download L/Wire again from the link in this forum, I found that L/Wire will not "Load & Work" if the "Quicktime" Icon is not in the taskbar, or on the Desktop as a Shortcut, Etc or turned off!!!!! give it a try! good luck?
