1. Remove all versions of Java using the Add/Remove control panel.

2. Delete your LW Preferences folder whilst LW is closed; instructions here: Point #2 & 3 in Fixes for Limewire (sample image included at bottom of page.)

3. Go to Start menu -> Programs -> LW -> Uninstall. ___ (Do NOT use the add/remove programs control panel for this purpose !!! very important !!!)

4. Run this program: Crap Cleaner so it cleans out the registry of unwanted & unneeded muck.

5. Download and install the "OFFLINE" version of Java: Download Java software from Sun Microsystems which will be over 10 MB in size. (about 15 MB in size)

6. Download and install the "OFFLINE" version of LW which is what is referred to as the unpreferred version stated. It will include the entire program within the installer and not be trying to find installer file bits online via both http and gnutella.



* IF still problems .. remove Java and install this version: JRE 5.11 offline version Archive: Download Java 2 Platform Standard Edition (J2SE) 5.0 Update 11
