The songs will still be there. You just need to find where. Use the computer search function to look for Shared. Go to Start menu -> Search for files & folders & type in Shared or incomplete. Then click on the result & you'll find the downld folder. *** Make a note of the location just in case. ***

Try reinstalling Java using the "Offline" installer. This is the one where you downld the installer to your computer instead of installing over the internet. Then install Java. Get it here Java 1.5 (take the JRE)

Now try to open LimeWire (LW). If it doesn't open, then delete the LW preferences. See the instructions here as there's a sample image at the bottom of the page of how to do it; instructions here: Point #2 & 3 in Fixes for Limewire (sample image included.)

Then try to re-open LW. It should open now. But you'll have to ensure the download location is the same as before. Go to the LW Library window & look in Shared. If there's files listed then that's fine. If not, go to LW's menu bar & find the menu called Tools, then look at the saving option. Change it to the location you found when you found the location in the 1st step above.
