Default Does anyone at Limewire Care?

I have three computers all windows XP, two had no problem at all with dowloading Limewire. I have an older computer with XP and also what someone said is Virtual Machine. Limewire will not download on this computer! I have removed all the Java in the add/remove programs and tried to install Limewire. It keeps saying couldn't download Java and i need to go Java.com and get it. When i check my add/remove programs again, guess what jre is there! This is so stupid i have spent over 5 full hours of trying to get Limewire on this computer. I have removed those programs, rebooted, installed the offline version. NOTHING works. ANYONE help?

Then Java has not installer properly. Uninstall Java by going to start/control panel/add/remove programs and uninstall all versions of Java listed. Reboot your computer then click on the Java button at the bottom of my signature download Java the offline installer then install Java. Then try testing it again.

I deleted all javas in my programs. I went to my computer, c drive and somehow saw a Java folder. I opened it and double clicked. It installed Java once again. after it finished i tried once more to start Limewire. It worked! I can't explain why all this time it wouldn't download Java in the usual way but it is working now. Thanks everyone who tried to help
