LimeWire Launcher Error

[K.A.M.]

I get the error - LimeWire Launcher Error...Limewire needs the Java Runtime Environment to run (Java 6 if I try to load Limewire 5, and Java 5 if I'm trying to load LW 4).

I run windows xp, successfully ran LW 4 for a couple years and upgrade to 5 and it ran fine too. We got a registry virus on 3/1 (lost access to task manager). Ran our standard norton and added AVG and cleaned the virus's and used AVG board to clean the registry. Have removed AGV since then. Have used ccleaner too. BUT - since that time we can't access Limewire.

YES - I've removed and replaced limewire and java, more than one version, more than once. Always clean and defrag after, run searches and clean temp files, etc. I tried to see if I could run frostwire, same error. I can run Sharebear - hate it.

So - here I am - musicless. Can you help me? I figure it's an error somewhere in the registry and I've scoured the net for the answer.

Java does runs on our system, we can play runescape and I can verify the Java version through their website. Yes, I've run through their forums too. I'm hoping you're the answer!!!
