Parilok is flying high
Default Can't start OR connect, for that matter.

Sorry if I'm posting in the wrong place, but I'm new and I've got a problem. I have a laptop, Windows XP, and it had limewire 4.8 (or whichever version came before 4.9), and it worked fine. Then, I downloaded the new version, and every time I try to open limewire, it just shows that opening screen and says,

"LimeWire was unable to initialize and start. This is usually due to a firewall program blocking LimeWire's access to the internet or loopback connections on the local machine. Please allow LimeWire access to the internet and restart LimeWire."

Now, I need to mention that I'm not very skilled when it comes to computers. I tried a few things, like restarting and taking off the Windows Firewall. I took a look at the LimeWire help, and it only gives directions on what to do from the limewire screen... but not even that loads. I just get the logo and I have no idea how I'm supposed to configure it and stuff...

Help!!
