The problem is that Limewire needs to be able to run a java command, and your system is not set up properly to point to the java runtime. You can fix this one of two ways.
1. Hardcode your java library path into the shortcut that launches limewire. Go and right click on your shortcut icon, and choose Properties. In the target field, you want to have something like this
"C:\Program Files\JavaSoft\JRE\1.4\bin\javaw" -classpath . RunLime
Now, your system may have java in a different directory than mine has, but it will look similiar. Do a search [Start -> Search] and look for a file called javaw.exe. Once you find it, use that path instead of the one above
"PATHGOESHERE\javaw.exe" -classpath . RunLime
make sure you include the double quotes "" and put spaces in
2. You can set your sytem up to recognize the java library properly. This should happen automatically when you install java. You can go back and download and reinstall java to fix it, or you need to edit your PATH environment variable to include the java path you found above. You can set the environment variable PATH by right clicking on My Computer, and selecting properties, and choosing the advanced tab.
cheers!
