1. Try the tips here from 1, 2, 3 & 5: Fixes for Limewire

* Tip 1 means use your add/remove control panel to remove 'all' java versions & then reinstall java off line version only.

I must apologize if this is ignorant of me:

I uninstalled my version of Java, and went to the link shown in Tip #1, however, I don't see a 1.5 version on that page. I'm only seeing several downloads for version 5.0 So, I guess I will just try the one for 5.0 (JRE) and use the off-line install.

Thank you for helping!
Julie

I tried all of the fixes and I'm still having no luck. Here's my error report:
