Default
1. Add/Remove control panel & remove all previous Java versions.

2. Start menu -> Programs -> LimeWire -> Uninstall.

3. Run this utility: Crap Cleaner

4. Reinstall java using only the OFFLINE java version installer: Download Java software from Sun Microsystems

5. Might be wise to delete the previous LW prefs folder:
Try deleting your LW Preferences folder whilst LW is closed; instructions here: Point #2 & 3 in Fixes for Limewire (sample image included at bottom of page.)
VISTA users see: LimeWire Pref Folder in Vista

6. Install LW using this version: http://www9.limewire.com/download/LimeWireWin-full.exe
