Hi all, new guy here with installation problem:

I get this error message when trying to install and run Limewire:

STARTUP ERROR!




I dont know what it means or how to fix it. I 'm not really supper knowledgable about this stuff, just wanted to get some music.

Any help would be appreciated.

Did you try to uninstall Limewire at all ??
Also have you had the problem with limewire popping up whilst it's suppose to be closed ??

The first time I installed it I got this message. Everytime I tried to download again it was suppose to remove existing old versions. This is the first time I have tried to use the program.

Ok try these fixes...
Try uninstalling all versions of Java from the add/remove programs and then re-install the JRE 5.11 offline version....

Then uninstall Limewire using the uninstaller which is found in start > all programs > limewire...then re-install it using the offline installer...To find the offline installer, use the link below > cancel the installer window when it pop's up and then select the offline installer link...
