Thank you very much for the tips! As of right now I'm gonna try downloading the installation file. However, on the Start button with the All Programs, I moused over Limewire and it doesn't have the Uninstall on it, just Limewire. I don't know where else to uninstall it if the other tips doesn't work...

So I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Java, deleting the Preferences folder, and yet nothing. I couldn't find a way to uninstall Limewire. There's no Uninstall link in the Limewire button at the Start menu and I kept getting the error message everytime I try to start Limewire. Is there any other way to get rid of Limewire?

I'll post up the error message again, see if anyone's familiar with this. Thank you very mcuh for all your help!
