Ive nosied around everywhere and no one seems to have a similar problem to me so here goes

ive downloaded limewire and it apears to be there ok

when you double click on the icon on the desktop it opens then shut downs straight away again

i have tried a lot of the things sugested and non of them work
- i have removed the programe and downloaded again
- i have gone into remove programes etc and there was only the remove option no repair
- i have altered the properties to windows 2000
- i have re-downloaded java (thingi)
- i have checked my windows settings

etc etc

thanks in advance
