    Windows 7 Resolving Java Installation Issues with LimeWire 5.0.11: 32-bit vs 64-bit Solutions

    Anyone can use this software? It ask me to install Java as I did but it keeps asking it like if it couldn't see it or whatever? It works fine now, I removed the Java 32-bit version I add manually and then reinstalled the 64-bit version and it worked.
