First you will need to uninstall LimeWire first then Java. After you uninstall them go to Start/Search/All Files and Folders and do a search for Java Delete anything you find.

Now go to Start/Run and type in regedit in the run box this will open your registry.

Expand HKEY_CLASS_ROOT scroll about half way down and look for any files that say Java if you find any delete them. Collapse it.

Expand HKEY_ CURRENT_USER go to software and expand it scroll down and look for any files that say Java delete them. Collapse it.

Expand HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE scroll down look for any files that say Java delete them also look for a file that says LimeWire delete it there may also be a file named Magnet delete it. Collapse it.

Expand HKEY_USERS Scroll down to the first file named S-1-5-21-XXXX expand it scroll down to software expand it. Look for any files that say Java delete them. Collapse it and close the registry editor.

Be careful when you are in the registry if you accidentally delete anything or change anything you are not supposed to you can mess your system up.

Now go to the links in my first post and save Java and LimeWire to disk then Manually install Java and LimeWire.

You may want to go to to the Java site and see if there is any Information on Java versions that work better with FX. I did not do any research on Java and FX. Also make you get LimeWire from the official site the link I gave before. Because if you are getting it from anywhere else it could be corrupt.

I was looking at your specks,(Impressive) I see you are not running in 0-raid on your SCSI drives. When you install XP64 you should install it on a separate drive and keep XP on the other. Or if you are running in 0-Raid and you have partitions install it on a separate partition. You will want to keep XP because some of your hardware probably doesn't have drivers that will work with XP64. Most printers will not work with 64. But you will be impressed when you are playing your games. When I am playing Half Life2 on XP64 the every thing looks allot more realistic even with my now outdated 6200.
