............. what do i do about this ????

First two suggestions I'd make are (1) Delete your LW preferences; instructions here: Point #2 in Fixes for Limewire (sample image included near bottom of page.)

(2) Uninstall Java using the Add/Remove Programs Control Panel & reinstall using the OFFLINE installer. http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp




Did you re-install LW by the way, or is this a sudden new problem for an experienced user? Judging by the location of your preferences folder, I'd suggest an experienced user. The reason I ask is there is a small chance a virus 'might' be involved which is mucking LW up when starting up.

Thank you for the reply. I am using Vista Business and have had all kinds of issues with this program from problems with itunes to Lime-wire. I believe it may have to do with Vista Business edition missing the media handlers.

Here is what I had to do to get Lime-wire to install correctly and work. I too was thinking virus, I use AT&T's security suite and ran a full scan and the system was clean. Next I ran a spyware scan and found grokster and Lime-wire spyware, removed those removed all entires in the registry that dealt with Lime-wire restarted the system, disabled the security suite and ran the install. Success
