is there any way i can check if another program conflicts with Java?

Go to the Java Icon at the bottom of this post click on manual install. On the right hand side of the page click verify install and verify your Java install. What did it say.?

it said like Congratulations now you have the latest version of java. I downloaded the first offline Java installer(the one with the astrick) was i supposed to install the one below that instead?

No I was just checking on which version of Java you had. Are you still getting the same error message when you try to install LimeWire.

no it doesn't say anything is wrong when I install lime wire its when I try to actually use it there becomes a problem.

Are you still getting the error message. What is happening when you try to use it.

the java isn't giving me an error message at all. It starts to load fine and i think its going to work, but then it just stops and like freexes at opening download window. So then I don't touch it thinking it loading, but if I let it run and a window of something else goes up it just kind of leave its image on the lime wire load screen when I close it. Or if I double click it the load screen goes blank, or it will just go blank after a while. I was wonder if I could try and older version of lime wire like version 8 its the last one I used to have that worked.

You can get 4.0.7 at the link below. But do not click on where it says get LimeWire Free it is a scam site go to the bottom of the page and click on 4.0.7

ok I did that but when i went to start limewire 4.7 and it said it couldn't find a suitable JAva runtime environment.

Well that means your Java install is corrupt. For some reason when you are uninstalling Java you are not getting it completely uninstalled. The next step would be to uninstall Java then edit your registry. But the truth is you have been having a little bit of a hard time trying to follow my instructions. And I do not fell comfortable giving instructions for going into the registry. If you make one mistake in there good bye Windows. Perhaps someone else can see something I have missed.
