I say 'trying' because I uninstalled it in the hopes that that would solve the problem.

But now I get this lovely little Java pop-up telling me something about a corrupted installation. (I'd reinstall but it would just keep opening up every few minutes.)

It suggests that I send something to bugs@limewire.com, but I get a failed delivery from that... guess I'm not important enough. I thought I'd try here.

Apologies if this was already posted somewhere with the solution.
