Need Java?

[ceecay]

Hello,
I am running LPE in Windows 7. I had no problems the last time I was using it. Great speeds, no connection problems, etc. This time when I tried to start it I got the message that Limewire needs Java version 6 or higher to run. I was sure I would have had Java installed but looked at my programs and didn't. I went and did the automatic download which didn't work. I then looked at the forums and saw that I should do the offline download, so i uninstalled the current version and did the 64-bit offline version. That didn't work either. I uninstalled that and downloaded the 32-bit offline version since I read that some programs might not be compatible with the 64-bit version and that doesn't work either. I am of course restarting the system before attempting to start FPE, but nothing is working. Should I try version 6? I read somewhere here that I should be okay with the current version (7) if I was using Windows 7. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,
~~Chris
