hey, i just started using limewire a few days ago, and an error message is continuously on my desktop, on cancelling it, it'll immediately re-appear!

this ever happened to anyone?

What type of error message? What does it say? I presume the error message is from your computer & not from LimeWire right or wrong?

LimeWire version 4.12.6
Java version 1.5.0_06 from Sun Microsystems Inc.
Windows XP v. 5.1 on x86
Free/total memory: 2793144/4128768

thsts what it says

OK that's a limewire/java problem. Try steps 1, 3 & 5 here Fixes for Limewire. By step 1 I mean use your Add/Remove control panel & remove all versions of Java. Reboot. Then install the "Offline" java which is about a 15 MB download. Sometimes online java installations end up being partically corrupt. Don't forget to try steps 3 & 5.
