Start from scratch then. Do points #1 & 2 here
Fixes for Limewire ie: I must stress using "only" the "Offline" Java installer!!! You may also need to delete the LW 4.20 preferencs via this technique:
http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...378#post182378 ie: set options for view hidden files "before" doing the search for limewire. After this step then you can move onto the next one. You can change hidden/show options after the search & delete process.
Then downld the "Offline" LW installer. Reinstall which will uninstall the previous version at the start of the installation process. See how it is then. Good luck!
