It says I need a newer Java... but I have the newst one already...
 

I offline-installed the newest versions of Java and Limewire. I installed both of them. Now, when I try to start limewire, it says "you need a newer version of java". ..... but I have the latest version. Whats the problem?

(note: when I installed limewire, it also gave me an error like "you already have java installed". The first time i ignored it. Then I installed limewire again, but deleted java, and it still gave me this message".... I dont know if this has any effect on the above situation, but i just thought id let ya know.)

Make sure you installed the correct version of Java. See point #1 here: Fixes for Limewire Java 1.4.2 & 1.5 are best for LW & depending upon a particular person's set up config. And make sure it's the JRE Java.
