This is a silly question but is Java installed on your PC because without it LW cannot work.

Thank you for the reply. When I go into control panel, it indicates that Java 2 Platform Standard Edition, Versijon 1.5.0 is installed.

You might want to give the instructions below a try


You will need to install Java and LimeWire manually First go to the first link.You can find Links to java in there Download Java to your hard drive by putting a mark in the save to disc box. Save it to my documents or wherever you save downloads from the internet. Do the same with LimeWire the second link will take you there.

Now with that done click on start then control panel add/remove programs and see if Java is listed on the list if it is uninstall it. Do the same with LimeWire if the un installers were not loaded you may have to manually delete the files. But in most cases this is not necessary.

Now click on the Java installer you saved to your hard drive and follow the instructions after you have completed that do the same with LimeWire.

Please post back and let us know if it worked. If it did not I will give further instructions on manually deleting Java and LimeWire.

I deleted Java and Limewire as you suggested. I downloaded Java and Limewire. I saved both to my hard drive and installed from there. Same error code appears after Limewire tries to load. Is it possible that I downloaded the wrong Java? I downloaded J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 update 5. Thank you for your assistance. Any other ideas?

Try j2re-1_4_2_10-windows-i586-p.exe some people have better luck with it. You can find it at the link below choose the offline installer use the instructions above and install Java first.

Download J2SE JRE

Opps now it does

installation
 
Once again, I started over. I deleted Java and I deleted limewire. I loaded j2re 1.4.210 i586p. I downloaded limewire pro from the email they sent me. I saved both to my hard drive and opened java first. Same error. I tried down loading the back up installer that was listed in an earlier forum message. This didn't work either. Nothing seems to work with this program.

There is one more thing you can try I do not know if it will work or not. I have not seen anybody have as much trouble as you are having with Java if this doesn't work I do not know where to go from here.

First uninstall Java and LimeWire if you can then follow the instructions below.

You will need to go to Start/Run type regedit into the box this will open the registry editor

Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER go to software expand it look for Java Script if you find it delete it. Now collapse it.

Now go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE go to software expand it look for Java, LimeWire & Magnet delete them if you find them.Collapse it

Now go to HKEY_USERS go to S-1-5-21 the first one then go to software expand it look for java if you find it delete it. Collapse it. Close registry editor now go back to the original instructions and manually install Java then LimeWire.


Be careful when you are in the registry do not delete anything other than I listed above you can mess up your machine if you accidentally uninstall something or change your registry settings.

Didn't work. I still get the same error code. The only difference is that when LM starts to load, I have a solid black box on my screen. In other words, I can't see it trying to load. After a few seconds, I receive the error code message.
