Everytime i start my limewire it shows the picture of that superhero lime or something but after awhile the picture is distorted and later another screen appears but it is also distorted. my limewire is the 5.4.6 basic

Try updating or reinstalling Java. See points 1, 4 & 6 of this thread (click on link) for more info: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/333278-post2.html

k thanks i'll try what u suggested

i tried it but the start-up pictures still go distorted

Did you make sure to remove all other Java versions installed, before installing the update?

Which OS are you using & which LW version?

Have you used older versions of LW in the past without the same problem?

thanks for your help. I guess after i installed the java i just had to restart. silly me thanks for your help anyway
