Cannot connect to Limewire

[Sureshot]

Hello,
I've been trying to connect to Limewire. It was working fine before but we upgraded our computer to Vista and our ISP reset us up on our internet on Vista. Now when I use Limewire, it never connects and I have trouble with any other P2P. Any suggestions?

Hi all, I am new on here. Have used Limewire for a number of years. Recently upgraded to a new computer with Vista. I don't have McAfee, but do have Nortons. When I click on the Limewire icon on my desktop, I get a message "LimeWire was unable to load the Java Runtime Environment. Please download and install a newer version from http://www.java.com" I tried that but still having the same problems. My computer crashed and is now giving me numerous 'warnings'. Any suggestions?
