Dave and I have EXACTLY the same problem:

When I try to open Limeware Po on WinXP home edition, I get the same message Dave gets:

Limewire Launcher Error

Limewire was unable to load the Java Runtime Environment. Please download and install a newer version from http://www.java.com.

There is NO newer version. I've uninstall, reinstalled, totally uninstalled and redownloaded, reinstalled ... and the message is still there, ruining my life.

HELP!
We're drowning out here!!
