Ok, well since I last posted I have updated my PC.

It is now XP SP2, 2.8GHz, 256MB vid card and 1GB RAM.

And I STILL get the exact same when trying to run limewire, even though it is a totally different PC.

So does anybody else have any further suggestions?

As suggested before have you checked the AA settings

My AA settings are set to Application-Controlled.

Did you buy a new PC or did you rebuild the one you had

It's a brand new one. Only bought it around a week ago.

Have you added any programs to it since you purchased it. It appears that a program may have a conflict with Java.

A few, things such as a web browser, a few messengers, media players and a few games.

Not too many programs though.

Allot of games will change your graphics settings try setting you graphics settings to default then open LimeWire and see what happens.

Still just the same. I'm using nVidia 6200SE, if you wanted to know.

I don't understand why it shouldn't be working, pretty much every application that appears to use java is exactly the same.

If it is a conflict in java, like you said earlyer, how would I go about fixing that?

I am also running nVidia 6200 so I don't thing it is a graphics issue but you might want to check and make sure you have the latest drivers.but I really don't think that is the problem. You can try uninstalling the software you have added one at a time. If any of them are causing the problem it should clear it up.
