when i try to run limewire after installation, i get a message saying the file or folder containing javaw. exe cannot be found. I installed the java software and it still says this. What is goin on?

LimeWire wants you to read the manual in the first place.

That manual doesn't help me at all. I have windows 98, and have had Limewire 2.1 since it came out. I wanted to upgrade so I downloaded the new version- replacing my old one- and now i have no limewire because it can't find that javaw.exe file. None of the shortcuts work no matter where they are on my computer! I've tried everything!

If you've tried everything there's not a lot left over to advice you on.

Perhaps you could define 'everything' in a little more detail?

Does it, for instance, include downloading and installing the latest JRE (Java Runtime Environment) (version 1.4ish at the moment) and then re-installing the latest version of LimeWire?
