Steps taken to fix issue:

Uninstalled all Java versions (Again for the 20th time)
Installed LimeWire Pro 4.16.3 (Compatibility options - Run this program in...Windows 2000 with Admin rights)
Attempted to open, and was asked to install Java (no kidding, lol)
Installed Java(TM) 6 Update 3 - Download Java software for Windows from Sun Microsystems
Attempted to open LimeWire Pro 4.16.3 again, and opened fine.
Reinstalled old Java Software for my other java programs and my own apps
JavaDB 10.2.2.0
Java Platform, Enterprise Edition 5 SDK
Java(TM) SE Development Kit 6 Update 3

Rechecked LimeWire Pro 4.16.3 to verify it is still working, restarted to make sure it is not a windows fluke. All looks good.

If you are having a problem with LW not opening, and you know it’s not your firewall or anything else, I would try the above steps to see if it works for you as well. I hope I have saved someone else countless hours of trouble shooting.

Side note: It should be noted that I never had a folder located in C:\Users\<<user>>\AppData\Roaming\LimeWire if you have this folder I would remove it first so you are on the same page as my steps. I look forwarded to seeing if this fixes anyone else’s problems.

Note to Moderator: Sorry for spamming my own post, but I thought it might be helpful to others.
