Please elaborate. We don't know what OS you're using, or what version of LW you're using.

I have had limewire for some time I downloaded it on to new computer using Windows XP Home Edition and it was fine until today when I get the following message: I did send message to bugs@limewire.com but it bounces back to me. LimeWire version 4.12.3
Java version 1.5.0_06 from Sun Microsystems Inc.
Windows 98 v. 4.10 on x86

Hi atip28

You say you're using java 1.5.0_06

The upto date ver is Java Runtime Environment Version 5.0 Update 7

http://www.java.com/en/download/windows_ie.jsp

Try this and see if it works

I think you should scan/defrag your machine after you update your java.
