I have a Windows ME. I installed the latest version of limewire, and whenever I try to start it, the following message appears: I have tried reinstalling it many times, and it still doesn't work. I also tried writing to the address it gave me, and it told me to come here. Here is the message:
One or more necessary files appear to be invalid. This is generally caused by a corrupted installation. Please try downloading and installing LimeWire again. If the problem persists, please copy and paste the message below and send it to:
