I changed it to NT and I use Vista.
This is probably not related and I'm not sure I can talk about it on this thread or whatever,( I'm new to this forum thing,) but now I cant drag songs from limewire, (or anywhere really,) to iTunes

Drag them from LW's download folder. ie: Go to your LW Library window, select Saved Files folder & press the Explore button. Sample image here: Using Library Explore button to access downld folder (click on link) & the folder will open up for you. Then drag & drop them from there to iTunes.

I was doing that before.. but for some reason its working now. I guess i just needed to restart. Thank you.

Okay, i had the same issue , and I tried one of the posted suggestions for uninstalling java and all that stuff, didn't work for me. However, i did find the answer a different way... I Manually downloaded the newest version of Java, then i downloaded LW 4.12.06, and from there, I installed LW 4.14 WITHOUT removing 4.12.06, It seems the the files in 4.12.06 provide the missing key to using 4.14. My LW is working beautifully again ! (My guess is the 12% error is being caused by a missing file in the DL if your doing a clean install)

I have windows Vista and I just changed the compatibility mode for my limewire to windows NT and it works fine. Re-downloading java didn't help me at all.
