Uninstall and Reinstall maybe? I think this is the wrong forum. And please don't use all caps

Have you installed the latest version of Java?

Hi Zippy

Got your PM, download Java from here: http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp

This should solve your problem.

Use the offline installer and download Java to a newly created empty directory and run it from there.

PS. After you have rebooted your PC, I would also suggest that you go back to the Java website and click the "Verify Installation" button to check that your Java installation is OK.

hey there UK Bob,

I just wanted to post one more thing, I wanted to say thanks for the suggestion of up****** my java, it worked, my limewire is now working fine. I never even thought of doing that, in fact I have had a computer now for 8 years, and that is the first time I have ever done it. I was under the impression that it just automatically updated itself every so often. And I am sorry about using all caps in my previous post. I am slightly visually impaired and it makes it alot easier to see what I am doing

Thanks
Mike Thomas

Hi Zippy

Glad to help, being a volunteer is sometimes a thankless task so when someone that's been helped expresses their appreciation can make this "self imposed duty" seems all worthwhile.
