I installed java from the link I saw on a thread from someone who had this same problem. I downloaded it to my hard drive then installed it. I already had Limewire installed on my computer but it said I needed to install some of the components manually, so I went to the forums and got the link for the java. Trouble is, when I try to run the offline installer, it still wants to install java. Is this normal? Is it installing the java to the Limewire program? How long is that supposed to take? Is this a one time thing, or does it go thru that process each time you open the program? I really hope I'm close to figuring this thing out. After I close out the `Please wait installing java`program (the only way I can do that is with task manager) after that when I go to turn off my computer, it won't turn off. I shut down, click "turn off" but it just stays on. The only way to shut it off at that point is to pull the plug and I shouldn't have to do that. It only does that when I try to unsuccessfully open Limewire.
