I've been using limewire for years now but since last week i have been having issues most notably when it is locating peers after start up. It starts for a good 10 seconds before it disapears and the icon in the system tray goes away after i scroll my mouse over it. I have reinstalled limewire several times. i have also uninstalled it and deleted all remaining files and folders including traces of it in the registry. I even installed the beta version and it still wouldn't work. I also reinstalled Java searched for both newdotnet*.dll & new.net. I even followed solutions from these three forum thread today yet none of them worked
limewire-help-lw-wont-open
new-lw-cant-connect
limewire-disappears
fixes-limewire-when-lw-isnt-operating-should
yet nothing works.

Can someone assist?
