limewire problems I had Limewire working ok, and when I did a cleanup of my C drive, I could have deleted a Java file, and now LIme wire won't work. I have tried to install Limewire again, but it keeps telling me.. Could not cteate registry key unable to load Java Runtime Environment, get new version at www.java.com. As I already have Java 1.5.0_6 installed on my computer ( I am running Windows XP with service pack 2) I downloaded it again and when I tried to install it again, it said I already have it. When I doubleclick the Jave icon in the control panel it says "The system cannot find the file specified "c:\program files\java\jre1.5.0_06\bin\javacpl.exe Could someone out there please help me with this, I have tried everything I know, I even did a system restore which did not solve the problem Kindest regards Lance have a nice day: |

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. http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp Use the offline installer http://www.limewire.com/english/content/download.shtml |

Thanks Grandpa for your quick reply. I am unable to remove J2SE update 4 and 6 from my add and removes program it says in both instances "fatal error during installation" also I have the Standard Edition 1.3.1_16 which previously had some MGs in it, but it is empty now and It won't let me delete it either. I have downloaded limewire and Java and left it in my downloads until I get further instructions from you. KIndest regards Lance have a nice day |
