Norm,

I have an IMac so the info is abit different for me but I think you're saying to pretty much disable the Java stuff in my browser and make sure they're not running when I try out limewire?
If so then this is not a fix. I've had java disabled in my browser since before installing LimeWire and I've made sure it's the only thing running after a reboot and I still get this msg.

I'll have to try the uninstall of java, I upgraded to the latest after I started having problems.

just wondering if this a fix for the specific exception msg or just a suggestion for most java problems?

I'm a java programmer so if you want to get technical that's fine with me...

thanks
Koichi
