I'm having the same problem, I have a brand new laptop with Windows Vista.
and just randomly Lime Wire doesn't work.
When I click on it, I get the Lime Wire Image where it is supposed to say it's loading.
Yet it doesn't load, then the image goes away and I get the Java/Lime Wire error message.
I've never had this problem before.
but when I try to open Java, I get a black box that has a flashing white line in the top left-hand corner.
can anyone help me?
