Java Download ?

[AlleyBoy]

Using WinXP2. Have installed Limewire 546 and required Java Runtime Env. (from Java site) on to a slave "G" drive. Using "G" drive due to lack of space on "C". Have also installed Java Runtime to "C" drive where IE6 is used as browser. Have rebooted PC. Java is enabled in Internet Options of browser. When attempting to open LW546 using its desktop icon, I keep getting a small window pop-up sending me back to Java site for redundant Runtime. It appears that LW546 does not know that the required Java is already installed. Plz advise, Thk-U

Unless any body wishes to correct me, I'd have thought Java is one of those things that needs to be installed onto the C drive. At least, it is generally best not to have more than one version of Java installed on your system (64/32 bit java 'might' be an exception where you are only using the 32 bit browser). Thus, I'd suggest you download the 'Offline' version of Java. Then uninstall the Javas listed in the Add/Remove Prog. Control Panel. Then install the Offline version you downloaded. Then reboot computer. Hopefully that will fix the issue. Perhaps look at this technique (to be sure the system is clean & no remnants of other java remain): http://www.gnutellaforums.com/333278-post2.html

Thk-U for your input. Thought since I installed the required Java to both C & G it would work out. Perhaps they are bumping into each other, or LWire is designed to function on the same drive (C) as the browser and not from a slave. I'll have to spend some time and play around with it. I will dump Java from G and see what happens. Am not too savy with the mechanics of the system, but I'm learning.*~*

Issue resolved. Played around with it. Was able to install both LWire 546 and its required Java to the slave (G) drive after removing redundant related stuff (dup. downloads,etc.) As I had mentioned, C would not except anything due to lack of space (another issue). LW546 appears to be functioning properly at this time. Had a related CA firewall issue, also resolved. Thk-U once again.*~*

Just be aware of the CA security software. They use a spyware program that is anti-p2p software & will damage any such software unless you put those p2p programs such as LW on its safe/ignore list.

Amended CA firewall to allow LW. Thk-U again for your help and input. Still learning. *~*

What I suggested in my previous post of course applies to giving LW clearance in the firewall, however also specifically the anti-spyware program that is included in the CA package. It was previously a privately run program called Pestpatrol. As you can see from here CA Anti-Spyware - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, CA bought the software & now release it as a part of their security package. Just search the word Pestpatrol on the forum search engine to see what damage it does to LW.

I have the amended CA firewall to allow clearance for LW. I'll have to check-out the anti-spy program in the CA package.
Goodness, one woudda thunk that LW, surely aware of this hazard, would have gotten together with the old Pestpatrol entity or its new owner CA, to amend their package so as to not damage LW or similar programs. Guess too many $$$ would have come into play. I'll take a look at the Pestpatrol forum. Still learning. Thk-U again.*~*

[AlleyBoy]

Have amended the CA Anti-spyware to exclude LW. Thk-U once again LoR.*~*
