Default All those with connection issues attention: try removing recent java update

Hi All
I've been having "connection" issues for awhile even with latest version of limewire on two different machines. I've been trying all kinds of things and nothing's been working. Well I just assembled a new system and put on a fresh copy of xp 64bit.

The first time I started up limewire pro it connected immediately no issues, then suddenly the no connection problem. I remembered seeing a update notice for java run time and the light bulb went on in my head that perhaps.........one of those updates could have hosed limewire.

I pulled up control panel and checked the installed updates list, there was java service pack three and ten so I uninstalled ten, on the next boot, voila limewire connected right away. Now of course the test will be if I can continue to connect properly....will post more on this after a few more days of testing. Just wanted to toss that out there in case it helps anyone else.
