Everytime I install LW, I try to run the program but get a message similar to the one down below:

Any ideas?

=================LimeWire version 4.12.6
Java version 1.5.0_06 from Sun Microsystems Inc.
Windows XP v. 5.1 on x86
Free/total memory: 2799952/4128768

STARTUP ERROR!

When I highlight a track to download I get a message within a box informing me that Gnutella cannot find a licence and that they cannot monitor the download and asks whether I wish to proceed. I have posted a few messages but no one seems to want to answer my question. In other words when I see this message is it safe or legal to download.

@torsionpro
Uninstall LW and all Java versions on your system. Reboot and then download the JRE offline installer of the newest Java version from here:
http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp
Install it and reboot again, then reinstall LW.



@silverfox88
If this message comes up you'll have 2 choices, 1) download anyway, 2) do not download.
In the end it's up to you to decide whether the file you try to download would be seen as legal in your country or not.
