Great to hear Alex... Glad it worked for you.

I seem to be having a very similar problem, which has not been solved by updating the JRE and re-installing Limewire. Interestingly enough the error message says JAVA version 1.3.1_05 even though I have updated to v 1.4.1_01 :

STARTUP ERROR

i'm home for the weekend and this is the same message i got on my sisters PeeCee.... limewire is superior to kazaa in so many ways, but i guess it only works when you use a superior machine (cough cough, MACINTOSH!)
