javaw.exe and connection problems

I had a problem disconnecting my internet connection after exitting Limewire 3.8.5 or 3.9(beta). As a result, XP would then not shut down properly.

According to Zone Alarm, javaw.exe is the file which requests internet/server connections for Limewire. I did the following things:

1) Uninstall LimeWire 3.8, reboot.
2) Install Java 2 Runtime Environment, SE v1.4.2_03 (the latest one from Sun's website)... Reboot.
3) Copy java.exe and javaw.exe from the 'Java 2 RE' installed directory to c:\windows\system32 (thus replacing what was there b4).
4) I then installed LimeWire 3.6.15 (coz i had no problems with it).
5) Everything seems stable at the moment.

If this doesn't work, try step (3) again, replacing the system32\javaw.exe file.

Any feedback would great.
