Try deleting your LW Preference folder. Instructions in this thread points 2 & 3(check both locations):
Fixes for Limewire.
Also try uninstalling your current version of java while LW is completely shut down. Go to the add/remove programs control panel and uninstall your current version of java. Now download and install

yemaNjosmusic,
Try downloading the one with the offline installer. When you get to the download page and the download window pops up, cancel it and use the offline installer.
