Hi,

Limewire (basic) worked fine for me for months now, but since a day or two I havn't been able to start it.

I reinstalled limewire and java, but that hasn't helped..

the review looks like this:

LimeWire version 4.8.1
Java version 1.5.0_02 from Sun Microsystems Inc.
Windows XP v. 5.1 on x86
Free/total memory: 492728/6234112

FATAL ERROR!

java.lang.NullPointerException
