Hi
With Win XP Home service pack 2 I get the following error notice when I open Limewire.. It did work fine...then it never.
Not a firewall proplem . I uninstalled countless times and re-instaled Limewire but still get the same error notice. Have uninstalled Sun Java & reinstaled that to no avail.
Can anyone see what the problem is...
Thanks
LimeWire version 4.10.5
Java version 1.5.0_06 from Sun Microsystems Inc.
Windows XP v. 5.1 on x86
Free/total memory: 3160544/4128768
