I just installed limewire without a drama. I am running vista home premium 32 bit. I have got java 6 but every time i try to run limewire i get the following error. I have uninstalled and re-installed a few times and have even re-downloaded the installer 3 times and Java twice:

Windows Vista v. 6.0 on x86

Please help!

Did you try uninstalling Java and reinstalling it using the offline installer. Use the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6 you can get it at the link below.
