Default install issues

I install limewire. (My first install of it.)

While installing limewire says ["we need to go get java"]. So it jumps around to a couple of places but in the end it leaves me with limewire

installed but no JAVA.

It is installed but it won't start, saying:

"Sorry LimeWire could not locate a suitable Java Runtime environment. Please download and install one from

http;//java.sun.com/getjava/download.html"

I go there and install JAVA manually.

Limewire still won't start saying the above again so...

I go to configure java in my WIN XP pro SP2 control panel per the java site instructions

"JAVA icon/advanced/applet tag/mozilla netscape support/<Check box>".

When I click apply, my win xp says:

"WARNING X!
Unable to change browzer settings
Please check that netscape or mozilla is properly installed on the system and that you have sufficient permission to change settings."

Would somebody please help me make this work here...

Make sure you got your LW from the official site: http://www.limewire.com/english/content/download.shtml

Downld the "offline" Java installer. Problems can occur when installing Java over the net. See links for Java from point #1 here: Fixes for Limewire BTW sometimes LW doesn't install over the net well either which is why the "offline" LW installer is more suitable for some people.
