There is one more thing you can try if this doesn't work then it has to be a graphics or a driver issue.

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.

This should work if it doesn’t then I do not know of another way. Running WinMx should have no effect on LimeWire installing I have WinMx on my machine also along with a few others.

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.

Still not working guys! As far as video goes I have a old *** ati rage video card that I have tried a million and one drivers on. I tried runnin like 4.0.7 of limewire and it wouldn't find java installed. However I think this build wouldn't work on JRE 5. Anyways...I am pretty good with computers and have even worked as a tech for a while so I can give you any information you may need. I am running windows xp sp2 btw...

Just curious if you go to add remove programs do you see Java there.

I sure do..as well as when I test my java at java.com it finds it no problem..azueres(sp) even works perfect and it is a java application...any ideas from anyone?

Can you give us a total desciption of your set up:
1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98)
2. What firewalls you have?
3. How much ram?
4. Hard Disk space available?
5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.)
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers?
7. Where are you trying to connect from (home, school, work, etc.)?
8. What version of Limewire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version.
9. Who is your isp provider (Internet Service Provider)?
10. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up.
11. Did you try uninstalling Java 1.5 & installing Java 1.4.2 instead?

Sorry for repeat questions you've already answered.

Not to insinuate anything but are you using the Windows or the Mac version of LimeWire. Just checking.
